Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced on Thursday that he will recommend a judge to resentence Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted nearly 30 years ago for the murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. The brothers were originally sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Gascón stated at a news conference in Los Angeles that after careful review of arguments from both sides, he believes resentencing is appropriate and will recommend it to the court. He also suggested that the brothers should be eligible for parole immediately.
