George Gascon, the LA district attorney, stated the review of new evidence in the Menendez case marks a significant development after decades, underscoring the perspective of victims of sexual assault. He emphasized, "It’s important that we recognize that both men and women can be the victims of sexual assault." This highlights the evolving understanding of the case and the commitment to examining new evidence critically.
The newfound evidence includes a letter written by Erik Menendez that his attorneys argue supports their claim of long-term sexual abuse by their father. Notably, a former Menudo member accused Jose Menendez of sexual assault. Gascon remarked, "The issue is not whether the brothers killed their parents, but their degree of culpability." This delineates the core matter at hand, focusing on the underlying trauma in the brothers' defense.
