After more than three decades behind bars for the 1989 slayings of their parents, brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez have a chance at freedom.
Outgoing Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced that he recommends that the brothers receive a new sentence of 50 years to life. Because the men were under 26 years old at the time of the crimes, they would be eligible for parole immediately, he said.
