In a bid for freedom after spending more than 30 years in prison, the Menendez brothers are set to appear for a resentencing hearing Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. Erik and Lyle Menendez are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for the 1989 killings of their parents,
When the brothers fatally shot José and Kitty Menendez on Aug. 20, 1989, Lyle Menendez was 21. Erik Menendez was 18. Gascón’s position has been championed by some high-profile celebrities and relatives of José and Kitty who have continued to speak out on behalf of the brothers.
