Erik and Lyle Menendez might be resentenced thanks to new evidence.
Sentenced to life in prison nearly three decades ago, Erik and Lyle Menendez could have a shot at freedom as Los Angeles prosecutors comb through new evidence.
In a Thursday news conference, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón shared that attorneys for the Menendezes had provided new evidence in a petition and asked the court to vacate their convictions. Gascón announced a Nov. 29 hearing on potential resentencing .
“We have not decided on an outcome. We are reviewing information,” Gascón said, per CNN, adding that his office wasn’t certain of the “validity” of the new evidence.
