Menendez Brothers Face Potential Resentencing in December
California Governor Gavin Newsom's decision may influence the future of Erik and Lyle Menendez as they seek parole eligibility after 35 years in prison.
- Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón proposes resentencing the Menendez brothers, potentially allowing parole eligibility for their 1989 murder convictions.
- A court hearing is scheduled for December 11, where a judge will consider changing their sentences from life without parole to a lesser charge.
- Governor Gavin Newsom's involvement could be pivotal, as he has the authority to approve or reject any parole board decision regarding their release.

- Public interest in the case has been reignited by a recent Netflix series, which has influenced discussions about the brothers' potential release.
