The extended family of Erik and Lyle Menendez is set to gather outside a Los Angeles courthouse as the district attorney considers whether to resentence the brothers, convicted of killing their parents nearly 30 years ago. The family, defense lawyer Mark Geragos, and celebrity advocate Rosie O’Donnell will hold a news conference to discuss the case. District Attorney George Gascón is reviewing the convictions, with the brothers feeling cautiously optimistic. They were sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1989 for the highly publicized killings. The case has gained renewed interest due to recent Netflix projects that highlight the brothers’ claims of abuse by their father. The family members speaking at the news conference include relatives of the Menendez parents. O’Donnell, along with other celebrities like Kim Kardashian, have advocated for the brothers’ release. Gascón, who has resentenced over 300 individuals during his term, is facing a re-election challenge from Nathan Hochman. Legal experts caution that public opinion can only go so far, with the ultimate decision resting in the judicial court. The Menendez case continues to be a contentious and high-profile legal saga.
