Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday that he will seek resentencing for Erik and Lyle Menendez for the murder of their parents in 1989. This decision paves the way for their potential release from prison after decades.
He said he would file paperwork Friday that recommends that life without the possibility of parole be removed in the brothers’ case and that the brothers are resentenced for murder. A Superior Court judge will make the ultimate decision.
Gascón said that because the men were younger than 26 when they killed their parents, they would be eligible for parole immediately if a judge follows his resentencing recommendation.
“There are people in the office that strongly believe that the Menendez brothers should stay in prison the rest of their life, and they do not believe that they were molested,” Gascón said. “And there are people in the office that strongly believe that they should be released immediately and that there were in fact molested.”
He added, “I believe that they have paid their debt to society.”
Joseph “Lyle” Menendez and Erik Menendez fatally shot their parents, entertainment company executive José Menendez and Kitty Menendez, with shotguns in their Beverly Hills home in 1989. The brothers were 21 and 18 years old at the time.
I am very happy to recommend Dr. Wale to everyone who truly needs help to fix his or her broken relationship and marriage. I found Dr. Wale online. I was desperately in need of help to bring my ex-wife back. She left me for another man. It all happened so fast and I had nothing to say in the situation at all. She just left me after 3 years of our marriage without any explanation. I was very worried and could not eat till I went online and found testimonies on Dr. Wale so I decided to contact Dr. Wale through his WhatsApp. I explained everything to him so he could help me cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did the spell, my wife started texting and calling me again. She said that she was sorry and said that I was the most important person in her life and she knows that now. you can also contact him now for urgent help.
