The Menendez brothers might go free as DA considers an early launch in mild of recent proof, which features a bombshell letter.
Earlier this month, Monsters creator Ryan Murphy predicted that Erik and Lyle Menendez could possibly be launched by Christmas, and it might really occur. Los Angeles District Lawyer George Gascón is alleged to be mulling an early launch for the Menendez brothers as he seeks re-election.
“Given the totality of the circumstances, I don’t think they deserve to be in prison until they die,” Gascón instructed ABC Information Nightline co-anchor Juju Chang in a current interview. In an announcement to Deadline, Chang mentioned, “He is tipping his hand to the totality of evidence that his office has been considering. He also added that there are deep differences of opinion about this case within the DA’s office and that this is not a decision he is taking lightly.” The total interview, IMPACT x Nightline: Menendez Brothers: Monsters or Victims?, will stream on Hulu on October seventeenth.
A lot of Menendez members of the family gathered exterior Clara Shortridge Foltz Legal Justice Heart immediately to demand leniency for the brothers. One of many new items of proof is a letter allegedly written by Erik Menendez to his cousin Andy Cano eight months earlier than the murders. “I’ve been trying to avoid dad. It’s still happening Andy but it’s worse for me now. I can’t explain it. He’s so overweight that I just can’t stand to see him. I never know when it’s going to happen and it’s driving me crazy,” mentioned Erik within the letter.
Because of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and the true-crime documentary The Menendez Brothers, curiosity within the case has returned to heights not seen since their extremely publicized trial within the ’90s. A brand new court docket listening to has been set for November twenty ninth, which is able to decide whether or not the Menendez brothers needs to be resentenced in mild of recent proof.
“We have been given evidence. We have been given a photocopy of a letter that allegedly was sent by one of the brothers to another family member talking about him being the victim of molestation. We’ve also got evidence that was provided by the defense, by his lawyers, that one of the members of the Menudo band alleged that he was molested by the father. None of this information has been confirmed,” Gascón introduced on October third. “We’re not at this level able to say that we both imagine or don’t imagine that data, however we’re right here to inform you is that we’ve an ethical and an moral obligation to evaluate what’s being offered to us and make a willpower primarily based on a resentencing facet, whether or not they need to be resentenced, though they had been clearly the murderers, as a result of they’ve been in jail for 35 years and so they have paid again their dues to society, or whether or not behaviors is suitable. If there was proof that was not offered to the court docket at the moment, and had that proof been offered, maybe a jury would have come to a unique conclusion.“
