It’s believed George Gascón will recommend re-sentencing on Wednesday; Erik and Lyle's extended family heading to L.A. in show of support.
A source close to the case says that Los Angeles County district attorney George Gascón will recommend the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez, with an eye toward releasing them. It’s said that Gascón is planning a press conference at a courthouse in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday, and has invited the brothers’ extended family to be in attendance. If he does in fact make the recommendation, a judge would then preside over a hearing.
” “The point of resentencing is to help us undo the crazy things that happened in the ’90s,” says Menendez attorney Mark Geragos. Erik and Lyle’s first trial, during which sexual abuse testimony was admitted, resulted in a hung jury. Judge Stanley Weisberg wouldn’t allow the brothers’ attorney Leslie Abramson to present evidence that they were molested in their second trial.
