Prosecutors in California will recommend Erik and Lyle Menendez be resentenced for the 1989 killing of their parents in the family's Beverly Hills home, providing the brothers with a chance of freedom after 34 years behind bars. An official with knowledge of the decision confirmed that Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon will recommend resentencing for the brothers. They were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Several family members have said that in today's world - which is more aware of the impact of sexual abuse - the brothers would not have been convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life. The Menendez brothers were tried twice for their parents' murders, with the first trial ending in a hung jury.
