Menendez Brothers' Resentencing Bid Gains Momentum Amid New Evidence

Los Angeles DA supports clemency for the Menendez brothers as new abuse claims surface, potentially altering their life sentences.

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has filed a motion for resentencing the Menendez brothers, citing new evidence of abuse by their father.
The brothers' case has resurfaced in public interest due to a Netflix series and new evidence, including a letter detailing abuse found by journalist Robert Rand.
California's AB1104 law allows for resentencing if trauma or youth were factors in the crime, applicable to the Menendez brothers who were under 26 at the time of the murders.
A habeas corpus petition has been filed with new testimonies from family and friends supporting the brothers' claims of abuse.
Governor Gavin Newsom will review the clemency appeal, which could lead to the brothers' release if approved, although a parole board decision and gubernatorial approval are still required.
