Their attorney, Mark Geragos, spoke to reporters outside the courthouse following the decision. "This is not the 1990s anymore," Geragos stated, highlighting the changed legal landscape and the court's consideration of mitigating circumstances. The resentencing concludes a decades-long legal saga, initially marked by intense public scrutiny and media coverage. The case has been revisited recently due to renewed interest and legal challenges. Geragos's comments suggest a more nuanced understanding of the case and its implications today. The outcome brings closure for the Menendez brothers and their families, while also prompting reflection on the evolution of justice and public perception.
