Menendez brothers, Erik and Lyle, who murdered their parents in 1989, could get parole in resentencing bid
'I believe, under the law, resentencing is appropriate,' the L.A. district attorney said. The brothers are currently serving life in prison without the possibility of parole
by Stefanie Dazio, Jaimie Ding and Christopher Weber · National PostLOS ANGELES — Prosecutors will recommend Erik and Lyle Menendez be resentenced for the 1989 killings of their parents in the family’s Beverly Hills home, providing the brothers with a chance at freedom after 34 years behind bars.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon announced during a Thursday news conference that his office would recommend the brothers be sentenced to 50 years to life. Because they were under 26 years old at the time of the crimes, they will be eligible for parole immediately, he said.
