The Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, are notorious for the 1989 killings of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home. Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted of first-degree murder and condemned to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Their case has recently received substantial attention. Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has recommended a resentencing after evaluating fresh evidence.https://time.com/7097692/menendez-brothers-case-timeline/https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/menendez-brothers-could-be-freed-after-prosecutor-urges-resentencing/ar-AA1sSwwq. This could potentially lead to their release, as the brothers have long claimed they acted in self-defense owing to years of alleged abuse by their father. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyle_and_Erik_Menendezhttps://www.bbc.com/news/live/crk4dmmdry4t.
