"Earlier this month, L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón announced his office would be reviewing new evidence and will make a decision on whether a resentencing is warranted in the notorious case that captured national attention."
"The new evidence presented in a petition includes a letter written by Erik Menendez that his attorneys say corroborates the allegations that he was sexually abused by his father."
"Their attorneys argue that because of society's changing views on sexual abuse, that the brothers may not have been convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole today."
"Lyle Menendez, who was then 21, and Erik Menendez, then 18, admitted they fatally shot-gunned their entertainment executive father Jose Menendez and their mother, Kitty Menendez... but said they feared their parents were about to kill them to prevent the disclosure of the father's long-term sexual molestation of Erik."
