Menendez Brothers Case Review May Lead to Resentencing
News summary

The Los Angeles County District Attorney, George Gascón, is reviewing new evidence in the Menendez brothers' case, which may lead to their resentencing or possibly a new trial. The brothers, Erik and Lyle Menendez, were convicted in 1996 for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, and have spent nearly 35 years in prison. The new evidence includes a letter from Erik Menendez alleging sexual abuse by their father, supported by claims from a former Menudo band member. Gascón emphasized that no decisions have been made yet and that a court hearing is scheduled for November 29. The case has gained renewed attention partly due to a Netflix documentary series. The brothers have long maintained that they were victims of abuse, which was not fully considered in their second trial, influencing their harsh sentencing.
