Menendez Resentencing Hearing That May Free Brothers Begins After Long Battle With the L.A. D.A.

The Menendez brothers plan to participate in their hearing via satellite video instead of appearing in person, as they aim to have their life sentences without parole reduced. This could make them eligible for parole under California’s youthful offender law since they were 21 and 18 at the time of the crimes. They are currently serving life prison terms with no possibility of parole for the murder of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, committed on Aug. 20, 1989. Although their allegations of years of abuse and threats from their parents were not acknowledged during their second joint trial, a letter written by Erik to his deceased cousin has surfaced recently that appears to support these claims. Additionally, a former member of the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo spoke out about being abused by the Menendez father, who had secured a $30 million deal for the group. This, combined with changing perspectives on abuse and the importance of giving voice to those making such claims, has led to a significant shift in how the Menendez case is perceived.
