LA County DA reviews new evidence in Menendez brothers' 1996 murder case, possibly affecting their sentencing.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is reviewing new evidence in the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, convicted in 1996 for murdering their parents in 1989. The evidence includes a letter from Erik alleging sexual abuse by their father, potentially impacting their sentencing. A hearing is scheduled for November 29 to determine if resentencing is warranted, as the brothers claim they acted in self-defense due to long-term abuse.
