Prosecutors will recommend Erik and Lyle Menendez be resentenced for the 1989 killings of their parents in the family’s Beverly Hills home, providing the brothers with a chance at freedom after 34 years behind bars. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced during a Thursday news conference that his office would recommend the brothers receive a new sentence of 50 years to life. Because they were under 26 years old at the time of the crimes, they would be eligible for parole immediately, he said. “I came to a place where I believe, under the law, resentencing is appropriate," Gascón said. He said some members of his office oppose the decision. Prosecutors will file the petition on Friday and a hearing before a judge could come within the next month or so. The Menendez brothers were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
