Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón is seeking a resentencing for Erik and Lyle Menendez, which may allow their release after 35 years for the 1989 murders.
Gascón indicated that because the brothers were under 26 during the crime, a new simple murder charge would make them eligible for parole, significantly altering their legal standing.
Attorney Mark Geragos aims to have the brothers sentenced for manslaughter at an upcoming hearing, potentially leading to an immediate release, especially ahead of Thanksgiving.
Governor Gavin Newsom is reviewing the case, acknowledging that media portrayals like the Netflix docudrama 'Monsters' could influence public and legal discourse regarding the Menendez brothers' resentencing.
