Menendez Brothers Resentencing
After 35 years in prison for murdering their parents, Erik and Lyle Menendez have been granted a chance at freedom with a reduced sentence. The judge reduced their sentences to 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole. The decision followed months of pushback from prosecutors who opposed resentencing due to lack of admission of lies told during trial. The brothers addressed the court and family members, seeking forgiveness and expressing remorse for their actions. The case will now go before the state parole board for a final decision.
