Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is considering recommending resentencing for the Menendez brothers, who are serving life sentences without parole for killing their parents in 1989. The brothers claim they were abused by their father, and family members argue they have served enough time in prison. Gascón believes there is evidence to support the brothers’ claims of abuse. The case has gained renewed attention after a Netflix series dramatized the story. Some family members still believe the brothers were motivated by greed. Gascón is reviewing evidence and plans to make a decision within 10 days on whether to recommend resentencing for the brothers. He is considering whether they have shown rehabilitation in prison and deserve to be reintegrated into society. While the public opinion may support the brothers, the final decision lies with the judicial court. Gascón’s comments suggest he is leaning towards recommending resentencing for the brothers, potentially allowing them to be released from prison by the end of the year.
