Menendez family condemns DA's opposition to new trial
kcra.com —
Cousins of Erik and Lyle Menendez criticized the Los Angeles district attorney for opposing a new trial for the brothers, who have been in prison for nearly 30 years for killing their parents in 1989. California Governor Gavin Newsom recently ordered a risk assessment by the state parole board regarding the brothers' potential release. This follows claims of new evidence about their father's abuse, which the district attorney has questioned. The Menendez cousins expressed disappointment over the district attorney's stance, highlighting the brothers' achievements in prison and their remorse for their actions. A hearing on the proposed resentencing is scheduled for March.
