Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said Thursday that his office is actively reviewing the case of Erik and Lyle Menendez, the brothers who were convicted of killing their parents in Beverly Hills in 1989, in light of renewed allegations of sexual abuse by their father.
Attorneys for the brothers filed court papers last year seeking a review of their case, and a hearing is scheduled on the matter on Nov. 26.
Gascón says attorneys in his office are reviewing the possibility that the Menendez brothers could be entitled to have their case reheard, or to be re-sentenced. He says he is “not leaning in any direction right now. I’m keeping an open mind.”
