Relatives of Menendez Brothers to Gather Outside L.A. Courthouse as District Attorney Considers Resentencing


The extended family of Erik and Lyle Menendez is expected to gather outside a Los Angeles courthouse as the district attorney reviews whether the brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents almost three decades ago, should be resentenced and possibly released. The family will hold a news conference with their defense lawyer, Mark Geragos, and celebrity advocate Rosie O’Donnell in attendance. The district attorney, George Gascón, has not made a decision on the case yet. The Menendez brothers are hopeful about the prosecutors’ review.

Erik and Lyle were found guilty of killing their parents in 1989 and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The case gained widespread attention and the brothers claimed they acted out of fear and trauma caused by years of abuse from their father. The family members who will speak at the news conference include nieces and nephews of the victims.

Celebrities like Kim Kardashian have advocated for the release of the Menendez brothers, arguing that they were treated unfairly. Gascón, who was elected on a reformist platform, has already resentenced over 300 people during his term. However, the decision on the Menendez case will ultimately be made in the judicial court. Despite the public interest in the case due to recent media portrayals, legal experts like Laurie Levenson emphasize that the decision ultimately lies with the judicial system.
