“What that means in this particular case is that we’re going to recommend to the court that the life without the possibility of parole be removed,” Gascón stated to the media. “And that they will be sentenced for murder. Which, because there are two murders involved, that will be 50 years to life.”
“However, Because of their age under the law. Since they were under 26 years of age at the time that this crime occurred. They will be eligible for parole immediately,” he continued.
“There are people in the office that strongly believe that the Menendez brothers should stay in prison the rest of their lives. And they do not believe that they were molested,” Gascón stated. “There are people in the office that strongly believe that they should be released immediately.
