“I will never excuse murder, and those were brutal, premeditated murders,” Gascón told CNN Thursday. Calling the brothers “model prisoners,” Gascón told CNN he believes there’s a good chance they would be paroled if the decision reaches the parole board. Erik Menendez, left, is seen in an October 31, 2016, photo and Lyle Menendez is seen in a February 22, 2018 photo. “I believe before Thanksgiving, they will be home,” one of the brothers’ attorneys, Mark Geragos, said Thursday. I think that the conviction was appropriate given what was there,” Gascón told CNN.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said Thursday he will seek resentencing for Lyle and Erik Menendez in their parents' murders, paving the way for their potential release from prison after decades. Defense attorneys also provided evidence that one of the members of the Menudo boy band alleged he was sexually abused by José Menendez, Gascón said. Lyle and Erik Menendez alleged sexual abuse by their father at their first trial. Lyle Menendez is now 56, and Erik Menendez is 53. “Erik and Lyle Menendez’ motive was pure greed,” Cady wrote in the letter, which was sent Oct. 14.

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón told NBC News on Wednesday he hopes to make a decision within 10 days about whether to recommend resentencing for the Menendez brothers — and that, if he does, it’s possible they could be out of prison by the end of the year.

Although Gascón said he is still contemplating whether to recommend resentencing, his public comments increasingly suggest he is open to it.
