Los Angeles DA recommends resentencing for Menendez brothers

 

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has recommended that the Menendez brothers be resentenced for the 1989 murders of their parents, which is expected to lead to their release. Gascón said at a press conference on Thursday that the couple should be resentenced and their life sentences without the possibility of parole lifted after authorities reviewed new evidence in the case. They could be eligible for immediate parole because of their age at the time of the murders, he said. "After very careful consideration of all the arguments presented, I have come to the conclusion that resentencing is appropriate under the law and I intend to recommend this to the court tomorrow," Gascón said. The judge will have the final say in the case at a hearing next month.
