Tuesday, May 13, 2025

A Los Angeles judge has resentenced two brothers who are serving life in prison for the 1989 murders of their parents in a Beverly Hills mansion, making them eligible for parole. Judge Michael Jesic gave Erik and Lyle Menendez a new sentence of 50 years to life. The brothers will now have to argue for their release in front of the state's parole board.

The pair acknowledged killing Kitty and Jose Menendez, but said they acted out of self-defence after years of abuse. Prosecutors argued the brothers planned the shotgun killings to access their parents' fortune, are yet to take responsibility and should not be released. The case, which has prompted books and documentaries, still divides America.

They should never get out of prison. They need to rot in there.
