The Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, convicted of brutally killing their parents in 1989, are seeking sentence reductions under a new California law, claiming they were driven by years of alleged sexual and physical abuse. With support from family members and the possibility of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon backing their case, they aim for parole eligibility. Gascon's hiring of former public defenders for resentencing hearings has sparked controversy within his office, raising concerns about advocacy for victims. Despite facing backlash, the brothers' attorneys argue for manslaughter convictions, potentially leading to their release. The case reflects the legal complexities surrounding justice and rehabilitation for individuals convicted of serious crimes.
