I just read that the LA District Attorney is considering recommending resentencing. It will be a judge who makes the final decision.

Prosecutor Expected to Seek Resentencing of Menendez Brothers - The New York Times

The district attorney, George Gascón, has scheduled a news conference on Thursday afternoon to announce his decision.
During their trial, which was televised, the brothers said they had been sexually molested by their father and had feared for their lives. At the time, their claims were met with widespread skepticism, but now they are seen by Mr. Gascón as credible enough to warrant reconsideration by the court.

The move by the office that originally prosecuted the case to seek a resentencing could pave the way for the brothers, who are currently serving sentences of life without parole in a prison near San Diego, to walk free.



While the district attorney’s recommendation will carry weight, it is ultimately up to a judge to decide the brothers’ future.
