In a post on the union’s website, Hanisee criticized the D.A.’s decision, saying “Gascón’s actions make it clear that he is more interested in using his office for free media attention than in actual justice. His self-serving agenda has left victims and their families neglected while he chases the next headline.”

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday that he will request the resentencing of brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in the late 1980s.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles have recommended resentencing for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of killing their parents in 1989, offering a possibility of freedom after 34 years in prison.

Lyle and Erik Menendez - the brothers who murdered their parents at the family's Beverly Hills home in a sensational killing that has spawned worldwide headlines, a dramatic TV series, and documentaries - are expected to learn their fate today.

A court and parole board will have the final say on whether the brothers, who are serving life sentences, should have a chance at freedom.

George Gascón recommended the siblings, who received life in prison for killing their parents despite their claims of abuse, be eligible for parole.

Fox News contributor Leo Terrell and criminal defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh discuss the timeline of the Menendez brothers' case after Los Angeles DA George Gascon recommended a resentencing.

D.A. race, former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman, accused the incumbent of using the Menendez brothers’ high-profile case to score political points. In a statement, Hochman said the D.A.’s office received a petition back in May 2023 and a request to resentence them in February of this year.
