After over 35 years in prison, Erik and Lyle Menendez have been resentenced by Judge Michael Jesic to 50 years to life with immediate eligibility for parole. This decision followed a resentencing hearing that focused on whether they should continue to serve their previous life sentences without the possibility of parole. Family testimonies suggested forgiveness towards the brothers, while the new district attorney argued they hadn't accepted responsibility for their actions. California's parole board will now evaluate their cases for potential release.
"I'm not saying they should be released, it's not for me to decide. I do believe they've done enough in the past 35 years to get that chance."
"The brothers have not accepted responsibility for their crime. Testimonies from cousins suggest that the family has forgiven them and they wouldn't pose a public danger."
