  District Attorney George Gascón Supports Resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez
 Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced his decision to recommend the resentencing of Erik Menendez, 53, and Lyle Menendez, 56, after being in custody for approximately 35 years for the murders of their father and mother, Jose and Kitty Menendez in August 1989.
This matter will now go before a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge who will make the decision to formally resentence both men, at which time it will be decided if they will be released from prison. The date of this future court hearing is to be determined.
“As we move forward with the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez who have spent 35 years behind bars after being convicted in 1996 for the killing of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, we must acknowledge the deep pain and suffering experienced by the victims' families. For decades, they have navigated the grief of their unimaginable loss. We also acknowledge Erik and Lyle’s continuous rehabilitative efforts during their incarceration,” District Attorney Gascón said.
