When Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón said earlier this month that he would revisit the famous murder case of Erik and Lyle Menendez and decide whether to ask a judge to consider resentencing the brothers, some people – including his political rival – questioned the timing of his announcement.

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.

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.

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.

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.
