Menendez Brothers Resentenced
Erik and Lyle Menendez were resentenced to 50 years to life in prison, making them eligible for parole after 35 years behind bars for the 1989 murders of their parents. Both brothers admitted their guilt during the resentencing hearing, expressing remorse and acknowledging their actions as selfish and cowardly. The judge’s decision aligns with prior recommendations from former District Attorney George Gascón, emphasizing the brothers’ rehabilitation efforts in prison, though the parole process is expected to be lengthy.
