Los Angeles district attorney seeks resentencing for Menendez brothers, opening door to potential parole

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced plans to seek resentencing for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents nearly 30 years ago. This marks the first time the brothers have had a chance for release. Gascón aims to change their sentences from murder with special circumstances to simple murder, making them eligible for parole. The brothers have shown good behavior in prison, including obtaining degrees and starting programs for inmates. The process will involve a judge's review, a decision from the state parole board, and potential input from Governor Gavin Newsom. The outcome may also be influenced by the upcoming election for a new district attorney.
