The Menendez brothers may be facing possible resentencing after Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón recommended on October 24, 2024, that the brothers should be eligible for immediate parole if approved by a judge. Lyle and Erik Menendez gained infamy after murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989. They have spent over three decades in prison and are currently incarcerated at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility. Though their family was known for its wealth, a central question throughout their case has been why they committed the crime.

To learn more about the reasons behind their actions, read below.

What Did the Menendez Brothers Do?

The Menendez brothers fatally shot their parents in their Beverly Hills home with shotguns. Although they were not initially arrested, they went on to spend some of their inheritance before being taken into custody.

Why Did the Menendez Brothers Kill Their Parents?

During the trials in 1993 and 1996, many believed that the brothers committed the murders to secure their inheritance. However, they claimed during the trial that they had suffered abuse throughout their childhood. Allegations included that their mother was dependent on alcohol and drugs and that their father had sexually abused them. Recently, Roy Rossello, a former member of the boy band Menudo, also accused Jose Menendez of sexually molesting him when he was younger.

These allegations became central in the first trial, leading to a mistrial. Ultimately, the brothers were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1996.

When Will Lyle and Erik Get Out of Prison?

At a press conference, District Attorney Gascón stated, “There was no excuse for murder … because even if you get abused, the right path is to call police, seek help,” yet added, “I believe they have paid their debt to society.” Although Gascón made his recommendation, the final decision rests with the judge.

If you or anyone you know has been sexually abused, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). A trained staff member will provide confidential, judgment-free support as well as local resources to assist in healing, recovering and more.

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
