DA Gascón Supports Menendez Brothers' Clemency Bid to Governor Newsom; Release Possible After 34 Years
Oct 30, 2024, 09:09 PM
Erik and Lyle Menendez, who have been imprisoned for 34 years for the 1989 murders of their parents, are seeking clemency from California Governor Gavin Newsom, aiming for release before Thanksgiving. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón supports their request and will submit a letter to the governor endorsing clemency. A resentencing hearing is scheduled for December 11, where a judge will decide on their potential release. Their attorney, Mark Geragos, is considering asking for their murder convictions to be reduced to voluntary manslaughter to expedite their freedom. The brothers' family members, including elderly relatives, hope for their release soon to reunite before it is too late. Erik's wife, Tammi Menendez, expressed disappointment with the resentencing decision, desiring a quicker resolution.
