Menendez Brothers Seek Sentence Reconsideration Amid Renewed Public Interest

A Netflix series and celebrity support have reignited calls for the release of Erik and Lyle Menendez, convicted of killing their parents in 1989.

The Menendez brothers, serving life sentences for the 1989 murder of their parents, are seeking sentence reconsideration, citing alleged abuse by their father.
A Netflix series depicting their case has spurred public interest and support from celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Rosie O'Donnell for their release.
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has announced a review of the brothers' sentences, considering new evidence including a letter alleging abuse.
The Beverly Hills mansion where the murders occurred has become a tourist attraction, causing increased 911 calls due to heightened public curiosity.
While some family members support the brothers' claims of abuse, others, like their uncle, believe the motive was financial greed.
