Menendez supporters say brothers should go free — but prosecutors who tried them believe they got what they deserved

Supporters and relatives of Erik and Lyle Menendez are advocating for their resentencing and possible release from prison, but former prosecutors who tried the brothers in the 1990s believe they are cold-blooded killers and should remain behind bars. The prosecutors are skeptical of new evidence presented by the brothers to challenge their convictions, including a letter alleging abuse by their father. Despite claims of abuse, prosecutors argue that the brothers were convicted of brutally gunning down their parents for money and should not be released. The decision on their resentencing will be made by a judge in December.
