Menendez Brothers' Resentencing Under Review Amid New Abuse Evidence

Los Angeles DA considers resentencing as family and public call for release based on claims of past abuse.

The Menendez brothers, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, are seeking resentencing based on new evidence of alleged sexual abuse by their father.
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is reviewing the case and may recommend resentencing within 10 days, potentially leading to their release by year's end.
Family members and supporters argue that societal attitudes towards abuse have evolved, and the brothers would receive a different sentence today.
A Netflix series has reignited public interest in the case, with many advocating for the brothers' release, citing the portrayal of their alleged abuse.
New evidence includes a letter from Erik Menendez detailing abuse and a claim from a former Menudo band member about being assaulted by José Menendez.
