Audiovisual productions based on true crimes have become the strong point of many streaming platforms. Netflix has established itself as one of the pioneers in shining a light on some of history’s darkest cases. A situation that we were able to see last 2022 with the mini-series of Dahmerwith Evan Peters, and more recently with Monsters: the story of Lyle and Erik Menéndez. This latest version recounts the media case of the Menéndez brotherswho murdered their parents in cold blood in 1989. A story that completely revolutionized world public opinion and influenced the fact that after more than 30 years the case was reopened.
As we mentioned a few days ago, the popularity that the case gained with the premiere of Ryan Murphy’s miniseries had the sentence handed down against the brothers re-examined. The goal, according to various media outlets, is to modify the sentence and for Lyle and Erik to obtain parole. Likewise, now and as published TMZthe Los Angeles district attorney, George Gascón would do everything possible to get prisoners out of prison as soon as possible. A completely unexpected movement that could completely change the current lives of the protagonists.

As was revealed, The key day that would be considered is Thanksgiving Day, November 28. This holiday is very important in countries like the United States and Canada, among others. It is for this reason that Gascón himself “firmly” believes that it is necessary to grant clemency to the Menéndez brothers.
In this regard, as Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, explains, this type of requests is very common at these times of the year. It is therefore not surprising that the defendants are eager to know the final verdict of this movement. GOOD, If Newsom decides to grant it, they won’t have to wait for the court hearing date.
It is good to remember that The court date is scheduled for December 11. Therefore, if this petition is approved, Lyle and Erik Menéndez would be released after decades behind bars. “I strongly support clemency for Erik and Lyle Menéndez… They are 34 years old and continued their education and worked to create new programs to support the rehabilitation of their peers jail,” the county attorney said.
Likewise, if this proposed modification is not approved, the accused will have to wait until December 11. If this happens, The goal of the brothers’ lawyer is to reduce the penalty from murder to intentional homicide. But if this move also doesn’t produce good results, the next step would be to try to get a new sentence that would somehow reduce their sentence.
