Menendez Brothers May Face Resentencing Amid New Evidence

Lyle and Erik Menendez, serving life sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents, are receiving renewed attention as new evidence may lead to their resentencing. The case has resurged in public interest due to a Netflix series and documentary, and Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is reviewing potential resentencing based on factors like rehabilitation and new abuse evidence. A large press conference, including family members and high-profile figures like Rosie O'Donnell, is advocating for the brothers' release, citing failures in the justice system and presenting new revelations. The brothers, convicted in 1996 after a sensational trial, claim they acted in self-defense due to years of parental abuse. The district attorney's decision could result in their release, a lesser sentence, or a new trial.
