LA DA Reviews New Evidence in Menendez Brothers Case, Resentencing Possible

Oct 4, 2024, 12:07 AM

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced on Thursday that his office is reviewing new evidence in the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez. The Menendez brothers were convicted of killing their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989 and have been serving life sentences since their 1996 murder conviction. The new evidence may support the brothers' claims of being molested by their father, which could lead to a resentencing or a new trial. The review is partly influenced by the recent interest generated by a Netflix series based on their case. A court hearing is set for next month to further assess the new findings.
