The Los Angeles County District Attorney said that although the brothers had committed a crime, the circumstance surrounding the murders should be taken into account.
Erik and Lyle Menendez should be resentenced for the 1989 slaying of their parents, the Los Angeles County District Attorney recommended on Thursday, citing recent public attention to the case in the wake of a new documentary about the brothers.
The recommendation will be presented to a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge and the brothers, who are serving life sentences, would be eligible for parole, District Attorney George Gascón said.
