Menendez Brothers’ Resentencing Moves Forward in Parents’ Murder Case
As Gascón explained, “Either one of those vehicles has to be evaluated by a court and approved by a court.”
The brothers’ lawyer Geragos shared his hope for the resentencing during the family’s press conference Oct. 16, especially due to the “movement” pushed forward by the “younger generation” regarding sexual abuse.
“I know that I’ve seen some of those videos of the first trial that was televised where the DA’s office was taking the position that men could not be raped,” the attorney, who did not represent the brothers during their trial, said. “They don’t have the equipment. And you’ve seen all kinds of arguments along those lines.”
“That is unfathomable in today’s age to people who weren’t alive back then,” he added. “So I think that evolution has been, frankly, seismic.”
