Menendez Brothers Resentencing

The Los Angeles County District Attorney announced plans to recommend a resentencing for Eric and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in the 1990s. The DA seeks to change their life sentences without the possibility of parole to 50 years to life, which would make them immediately eligible for parole due to their age at the time of the crime. As both brothers are now in their 50s, this development has sparked renewed public interest, particularly following a recent Netflix series on their case. Critics of the original trial argue that allegations of parental abuse should have been given more weight in the proceedings.
