A day many thought would never come is finally here.
On Thursday, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón will hold a news conference to announce his office’s decision as to whether the Menendez brother should be resentenced.
The New York Times reports that Gascón is expected to support the resentencing request, something that could let Lyle and Erik Menendez out of prison more than three decades after they killed their parents at their Beverly Hills home.
Since their conviction and sentencing to life in prison, evidence has emerged indicating that José Menendez, the boys’ father, was sexually abusive.

It took 40 months for the Superior Court arraignment after prosecutors and defense attorneys battled over the admissibility of taped confessions the brothers allegedly made to their psychotherapist.

A letter from Erik Menendez indicates that José Menendez’s alleged abuse was “driving [him] crazy.”
“Every night, I stay up thinking [my father] might come in,” he wrote.
A former member of the boy band Menudo also claims he was sexually abused by José Menendez.
The revelations and recent television series have sparked a renewed interest in the Menendez brothers, and recently, the brothers’ family has come forward to ask that they be released from prison.
Additionally, Gascón has previously said that “there is a possibility being alleged by his lawyers, not by us, that there was evidence that, had it been presented to the jury, the outcome of the trial would have been different.”
