“30 Years of Silence: Menendez Brothers Poised for Freedom as Shocking New Evidence Prompts Re-Sentencing Announcement”
The judge presiding over the brothers’ first trial allowed sexual abuse testimony to be admitted and resulted in hung juries.
At their second trial, Judge Stanley Weisberg did not allow the brothers’ attorney, Leslie Abramson, to present evidence about Erik and Lyle being molested as children.
In May 2023, Geragos and fellow attorney Cliff Gardner sent a letter to the DA arguing new evidence had been discovered in the case.
Evidence included a handwritten letter Erik allegedly wrote to his cousin, Andy Cono, eight months before the double homicide in which he claimed the abuse was still going on.
Roselló’s claims were also cited as new evidence.
Gascón addressed the new evidence in a social media post.
