The Menedez Brothers | We unalived our parent in 1988 | Parole in 2025?

Joseph Lyle Menendez (born January 10, 1968) and Erik Galen Menendez (born November 27, 1970), commonly referred to as the Menendez brothers, are American brothers convicted of killing their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home in 1989.

Beginning in 1998, the brothers began numerous successive legal appeals of their convictions, which were reviewed and rejected by judges.[7] In October 2024, Los Angeles DA George Gascón recommended a resentencing after reviewing a habeas corpus petition. After Gascón's loss in the November 2024 election, newly elected district attorney Nathan Hochman opposed the habeas petition, calling the brothers' self-defense claims "lies" In May 2025, a judge resentenced the brothers to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole.
