Menendez brothers prepare for resentencing hearing with prison staff as key witnesses
Erik and Lyle Menendez are preparing for a resentencing hearing on December 11, with prison employees as key witnesses. Their legal team plans to call six staff members from the California Department of Corrections to testify about the brothers' rehabilitation. The witnesses will highlight the Menendez brothers' positive behavior in prison, including their involvement in a beautification project called Green Space, which Lyle started in 2018. The project features murals and aims to create outdoor classrooms and training areas. The brothers' attorney is seeking to change their convictions from murder to manslaughter, which could lead to immediate release. They will participate in the hearing virtually from prison, while family members of the victims may also testify in support of their release.
