UPDATE:



quote:

Erik and Lyle Menendez will be eligible to leave prison after serving more than 30 years behind bars for the vicious 1989 shotgun slayings of their parents, a Los Angeles judge ruled Tuesday.

The judge reduced the sentences for the killer siblings — who are now 54 and 57, respectively — from life without parole to 50 years to life with the possibility of parole.

It will now be up to the California state parole board and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom to decide if the brothers deserve freedom after they gunned down their wealthy parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their lavish Beverly Hills home on Aug. 20, 1989.



quote:

L.A. County DA Gascón on Menendez brothers: "I believe under the law, resentencing is appropriate and I am going to recomend that to a court tomorrow ... Because of their age, they would be eligible for parole immediately." Watch: ktla.com/news/local-new…

My guess is Gascon, who doesn't follow the law anyway, will grant them a new sentencing hearing.

Gascon is the worst of the worst. Surprisingly, he's way down in the polls. Even L.A. is sick of him.

Sucks that they were abused, but does that make blasting your parents domes off with a shotgun less than 1st degree murder?

Pretty sure they tried to recall his dumb arse and it failed. I'm sure some frickery was happening.

Regardless, hopefully he's out on his arse soon

They won’t go free. That would set into motion a huge snowball effect that this country doesn’t need.

It's like a reverse double jeopardy and statute of limitation combined.

This - on the OT where posters routinely call for the torture and summary execution of child abusers. Let's have some consistency, baws.

they claimed abuse as a Hail Mary defense, none was ever proved and, iirc, the judge wouldn't allow it to be brought up in court because there was no evidence
