Bombshell Decision: Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic resentenced Erik and Lyle Menendez, originally convicted for the shotgun murders of their parents in 1989.

  • Previous Sentence: Both brothers received life sentences without parole in 1996.
  • Current Sentence: Reduced to 50 years-to-life, making them eligible for parole.
  • Final Decision Makers: Their release decision lies with the parole board and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Judge Jesic emphasized that his ruling does not guarantee their release.
