DA in Los Angeles Gascón will make his ruling on the Menendez brothers' case public.

Lyle and Erik Menendez were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1996 for the murders of Jose and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office will announce Thursday afternoon whether it will recommend resentencing them.

 
In light of fresh information and the conclusion that the Menendez brothers pose no threat to society, District Attorney George Gascón stated that his office would examine the case to determine whether the sentences may be reduced.

Reporters were to meet with the district attorney Friday afternoon to discuss the case of Lyle Menendez, 56, and Erik Menendez, 53, who are still incarcerated at San Diego's Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.

The District Attorney's Office has submitted a fresh 21-page document about the Menendez case, which Gascón is anticipated to address during a live press conference Thursday afternoon, according to the NBC4 I-Team.

What is being taken into account for the review? What is being taken into account for the review?

Erik Menendez's letter to a cousin regarding the sexual assault before he committed the killings is one of the fresh pieces of evidence the DA's office is examining.

According to a signed declaration by a member of the well-known Puerto Rican boy band Menudo from the 1980s, Gascón's office is reportedly looking into claims that Jose Menendez sexually assaulted him as well.

The brothers started serving their sentences when they were young, and the district attorney said he would consider releasing them early.

 
In an interview, the DA stated that although a hearing was set for November 29, he chose to expedite the proceedings due to the increased public interest in the Menendez brothers' case, which was mostly caused by a Netflix series and social media movement.

Earlier this month, a group of the brothers' relatives demanded that the brothers be released from state jail.

Joan Andersen VanderMolen, the sister of Kitty Menendez, said she had been struggling for years to "come to terms with what happened in my sister's family" during a news conference held outside the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles on October 16.

Opposition to potential resentencing

 According to critics, Gascón is attempting to use the national case to get media attention in advance of the November election.

In a statement, the Los Angeles Association of Deputy District Attorneys said, "LA County District Attorney George Gascón has once again shown his opportunism." "Gascón has continuously put celebrity cases ahead of the rights of crime victims during his disastrous tenure as DA, demonstrating a greater interest in gaining attention than in enforcing the law."

According to a poll conducted in September, Gascon was 24 points behind Nathan Hochman, his opponent.

He is more willing to "review things that other prosecutors may not," according to Gascón.

Additionally, the Beverly Hills Police Department, which was in charge of the investigation at the time of the killings, stated that the DA's Office has not gotten in touch with them about the latest information.
