Breaking news for the Menendez Brothers and their supporters.  Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón held a press conference this afternoon, Thursday, October 24, regarding the brothers resentencing.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were sent to prison for the 1989 murders of their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez, in the family’s home in Beverly Hills.

Thanks to the LA DA’s recommendation, it’s now up to a judge to review the case with all new pertinent evidence. If approved, this gives the Menendez brothers a chance at freedom after serving 34 years in jail.

Menendez Brothers Resentencing – A Victim Has Come Forward

The Menendez Brothers had stated during their trial that they had been abused by their dad, but there wasn’t enough evidence to support this.

Thankfully, new information emerged when Roy Rossello, former Menudo singer, came forward to reveal that Jose Menendez had drugged and raped him as a teen. 

This changed the game for Erik and Lyle Menendez, and it looks like after all this time, they might finally get some justice in their case.

The brothers have their fair share of support, thanks to the two documentaries on Netflix, but have also had family who have stood by their potential resentencing and release. 

One person who has been vocal on this is their aunt, their mother’s sister, Joan VanderMolen, who told Vanity Fair recently that her nephews, “… didn’t deserve any of this. They were used and abused and there seems to be no end to it.”
