In light of very recent resentencing efforts, the answer to that question may be yes. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is seeking resentencing for Lyle and Erik, and filed a motion yesterday asking that the brothers be resentenced to 50 years to life. The brothers are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Gascón said his recommendation Thursday for resentencing was not universally backed. 'There are people in the office that strongly believe that the Menendez brothers should stay in prison the rest of their life, and they do not believe that they were molested,' Gascón said.
He added, 'I believe that they have paid their debt to society.' In his resentencing motion, Gascón noted that the Menendez brothers no longer pose a public safety risk, writing, 'When Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to Life Without the Possibility of Parole, they were 21 and 18 years old, respectively.'
