“30 Years of Silence: Menendez Brothers Poised for Freedom as Shocking New Evidence Prompts Re-Sentencing Announcement”
A press conference is scheduled to take place in LA on Wednesday, October 16 – where the state is expected to announce a bombshell development in the brothers’ case.
Erik, 53, and Lyle, 56, alleged they killed their parents in self-defense, citing an alleged lifetime of sexual, emotional and physical abuse. Prosecutors argued the killed their parents in cold-blood and were motivated by their father’s multi-million dollar fortune.
Family members testified to the brothers telling them about being sexually abused by their father – and recently former Menudo member Roy Rosselló came forward and claimed he had been drugged and raped by Jose when he was a teen in the 80s.
According to Vanity Fair, the DA has invited Menendez family members to attend Wednesday’s press conference. A source close to the family told the outlet the family hopes Gascón will recommend the convicted murders for resentencing.
Should the DA recommend a resentence, a judge would preside over the case.
Menendez attorney Mark Geragos said: “The point of resentencing is to help us undo the crazy things that happened in the ’90s.”
