Prosecutors in the United States have recommended that brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez be resentenced for the 1989 killings of their parents, potentially leading to their release. The Los Angeles County district attorney, George Gascón, suggested their life sentences be replaced with 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole immediately due to their young age at the time of the murders. The brothers had admitted to killing their parents, claiming they were sexually abused for years. Gascón cited new evidence, including a letter detailing the abuse, as influencing the decision for resentencing. The recommendation also reflects changing attitudes towards sexual violence and a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding it. Family members present at the press conference expressed support for the decision, marking it as a day of hope and healing for the Menendez brothers.
