how is the DA the one to make this decision? thought a judge made the call, with input from the DA?

you missed the part where he said he was going to recommend a re-sentensing

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

I havent followed closely but from my limited knowledge, why would anyone care if children being abused kill their parents? It sounds deserved.

I don't necessarily care what happen to the parents(If they're guilty) but I do care about having laws and a justice system.

There's a bunch of articles on it.

Gascon losing makes this very much in doubt

Newsom has said that he has "made a decision about the case" but will not announce it until after the DA takes office and weighs in on it.

The "New evidence" is a the letter that Eric wrote to the cousin 8 months prior to the murder saying that "it was still happening"

This, and the other new evidence is that former Menudo boy band from the 80's, Roy Rossello, publicly came out and announced that Jose drugged him and abused him when he was 13 years old a number of occasions. This was the time when Jose was the CEO of RCA Records. The confession is somewhat recent and he kept his silence for decades.

I think there's a documentary about Roy in Netflix.

Jose was a sick f*ck and he deserved what he got. There's no place for pedos in this world.

We're still at 0 reports, even unsubstantiated, of mom doing this stuff, yet she was also murdered.

I believe it was Lyle who alleged that Mom abused him and I think they both alleged that Mom knew about Jose and did nothing about it.

Here's an article.



Lyle Menendez Tells Court of Sexual Abuse by Mother : Trial: He says she would wash his body ‘everywhere’ and had him in bed with her until he was 13. He gives further testimony on violence by both parents.


TIMES STAFF WRITER

"Lyle Menendez testified Monday that his mother was “very strange” and frequently violent and that she--like his father--sexually abused him.

Until he was 13, his mother would wash his body “everywhere,” he said. She also would invite him into bed with her and he would touch her “everywhere,” he testified.

“I took it to be love,” Lyle Menendez said, adding, “She was enjoying it.” But he was not enjoying it, he said, so he stopped the activities, which enraged her.

Throughout his adolescence, he said, she “harassed” him with increasingly bizarre sexual conduct."

I don’t give a frick about these losers saying they were sexually abused. It’s never come up before and the only reason it has is because they are from California, which is about the only place on earth that murderers could make shite up and get sympathy.
