DA Gascón Nears Decision on Menendez Resentencing
News summary

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is set to decide on the potential resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who have been imprisoned for the 1989 murder of their parents. New evidence has emerged that supports the brothers' claims of being sexually abused by their father, Jose Menendez, which may impact the case's perception and outcome. Gascón, who does not consider the brothers a societal danger, highlights the divide within his office regarding the validity of the abuse claims. Public interest in the case has surged due to a recent Netflix series and advocacy by figures like Kim Kardashian. A judge will ultimately decide the fate of the Menendez brothers, who are currently serving life sentences without parole. The decision is expected soon as Gascón reviews recommendations from his office's habeas and resentencing units.
