💨 Abstract

Lyle and Erik Menendez, convicted in 1996 for the shotgun murders of their parents, appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom by video for a re-sentencing hearing. Their defense lawyers aim to shorten their life sentences or make them eligible for parole, citing new evidence of alleged sexual abuse by their father. The brothers, now 57 and 54, have been convicted of first-degree murder without the possibility of parole.
