Menendez Brothers Seek Resentencing After 35 Years

After 35 years in prison for the 1989 murders of their parents, Erik and Lyle Menendez may soon be eligible for parole following a recommendation from Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón for resentencing. The brothers, who claimed they were victims of their father's abuse, have maintained a focus on self-improvement while incarcerated, with Erik emphasizing his role as a husband and father in recent letters. They have both built lives behind bars, forming marriages and engaging in educational programs, while also advocating for other inmates. The public's interest has surged recently due to a Netflix series highlighting their case, alongside growing support from family and celebrities such as Kim Kardashian. Both brothers are now housed together, having been reunited in 2018, which has allowed them to interact and support one another more directly. Their potential release hinges on the reconsideration of their sentences, which may be influenced by their claims of past abuse and their behavior as inmates.
