Menendez Brothers' Attorney Fights for Parole: 'No Two Better Candidates'

The Menendez brothers' resentencing hearing is underway in Los Angeles. Their attorney, Mark Geragos, is pushing for parole, arguing that they have served sufficient time and are suitable candidates for release. "There are no two better candidates in the state of California right now for resentencing than Erik and Lyle Menendez," Geragos stated outside the courthouse. This statement directly counters the stance of Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who opposes parole at this time. The brothers were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989 and sentenced to life without parole. The resentencing hearing is a result of legal challenges and changes in California's sentencing laws. The outcome will significantly impact the brothers' future and the ongoing public fascination with this high-profile case. The hearing's conclusion will provide closure to a long-running legal battle and offers a potential turning point in the case.
