Los Angeles County district attorney George Gascon announced Thursday that he recommends
00:04
the resentencing of Eric and Leo Menendez brother,
00:07
that Netflix show literally could be the reason they get out.
00:11
The brothers who are serving life sentences without parole for the murder
00:13
of their parents caught the nation's attention.
00:15
35 years ago, Gascon told reporters he will file his recommendation
00:20
in Court Friday and urge the po of parole to be put
00:26
This is big. Definitely because look the penalty for two murders
00:29
is 50 years to life in prison.
00:32
But since survivors were under the age of 26 at the time
00:35
of the crime, Gascon said they would be eligible for parole
00:38
right away under California law.
00:39
He said, I believe that they have paid their debt to
00:42
society. I don't know,
00:43
I feel bad for them though.
00:44
The truth. Like all these things keep coming up,
00:46
right? You hear one story.
00:48
But then 35 years later,
00:51
yeah, I feel like they went through a lot of trauma
00:54
and I mean, not to justify but kind of they just
01:00
You know what I mean?
01:01
And their dad was so powerful.
01:03
I don't know. Clearly,
01:05
the Netflix show helped bring awareness to the abuse they endured.
01:08
What are your thoughts on the brother?
01:10
I mean, I don't know.
01:11
It's just interesting to see how this plays out.
01:13
Again. We thought it was one sided.
01:16
Yeah. Will they be able to make money after you think
01:21
word is word on the street is that they are broke because
01:26
literally they were not able to inherit anything that their parents left
01:35
there's stories out there but not their specific story.
01:38
So now they might write a book,
01:40
they might do all these appearances,
01:43
podcast. I think there's ways for them to make some money
01:48
You're right. You're right.
