Los Angeles District Attorney says he supports Plum And Lyle MenendezPardon request from California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“I strongly support pardoning Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole.” George Gascon Wednesday, October 30 said, in a press release. “They served for 34 years respectively and continued their education, working to create new programs to support the rehabilitation of their fellow inmates.”

The prosecutor’s office stated that the brothers’ defense team submitted their request for amnesty on Monday, October 28. The office has since sent letters of support to Newsom.

According to Newsom official websiteClemency can take the form of a “commutation of punishment,” which involves reducing the sentence, or an “amnesty,” which provides “relief from punishment” and restores some civil rights to people convicted of a crime.

“We have a dual-track system. I’m doing everything possible, I’ve told the public, I want them to be home and celebrate with my Aunt Terry, not just for Thanksgiving, but for Joan’s 93rd year.” Mark GeragosAn attorney representing Erik, 53, and Lyle, 56, he told TMZ On Tuesday, October 29th.

Geragos, 67, meant: Joan VanderMolenMurder victim’s sister Kitty Menendez (Erik and Lyle’s mother) and Terry BaraitMurder victim’s sister José Menendez (siblings’ father).

The Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole for the 1996 murders of Kitty and José and remained incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.

Gascon said at a press conference on October 24 that the brothers take offense At a time of renewed public interest as a result of Netflix’s limited series monstersand documentary Menendez Brothers.

Geragos also confirmed during the TMZ interview that if Erik and Lyle are re-sentenced, his legal team will request that the conviction be changed from murder to manslaughter.

The rationale for this amendment, if accepted, is that the brothers would be released immediately due to the prison sentence they have already served and the fact that they were both under 26 at the time of the crime.

Erik and Lyle were convicted of murdering their parents in their home in Beverly Hills, California, in 1989, when the brothers were 18 and 21, respectively.

In Gascón’s statement on October 24, he said: “They have been in prison for approximately 35 years. “I believe they have paid their debt to society.”

Gascón said he believes it is “safe to integrate into society.”
