Overview
Erik and Lyle Menendez may gain parole eligibility after Los Angeles DA George Gascón's recommendation to resentencing, based on new evidence of sexual abuse by their father. This follows renewed public interest due to recent documentaries. The brothers, sentenced to life without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents, must still navigate a judge's approval and a parole board decision. While some family members support their release, others oppose it. Gascón faces criticism about his motivations and the timing of this decision amid a reelection campaign.
