"The brothers' attorneys never disputed the pair killed their parents but argued that they acted out of self-defense after years of emotional and sexual abuse by their father."
"Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said his office would recommend the brothers be given a sentence of 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole since they were under the age of 26 when the crime was committed."
"If the judge approves the resentencing, the brothers will still need a state parole board to grant their release, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom then has 150 days to review its decision."
"Prosecutors pointed to the brothers' educational achievements - both have attained several degrees - and contributions to the community, such as a prison beautification program started by Lyle Menendez."
