Menandez Brothers resent out: Parent killed in jail after 35 years, eligible for parole

In 1989, Lyl and Eric Menandez, convicted of shotgun killings of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menandez, was angered on Tuesday, making them a character for parole after more than three decades behind the bars. Los Angeles superior court judge Michael Jessic reduced his sentence from life, for life for 50 years without parole, California Parole Board now allowed the parole board to determine their fate.Judge Jessic clarified, “I am not saying that they should be released, it’s not to decide for me. I believe that he has done enough in the last 35 years, that he will get that opportunity,” AP said. The ruling came after an emotional hearing, where a relative, a retired judge and even a former prisoner spoke in favor of his rehabilitation.According to the news agency Reuters, brothers, now 57 and 54, were convicted in 1996 for cruel killings inside their Beverly Hills Haveli. The prosecutors had argued that they killed their parents in her inheritance. The brothers accepted the murders, but said that he acted in fear after years of sexual abuse by his father and had an emotional shock by his mother.In court, the two brothers took full accountability. “I killed my mother and father. I don’t make any excuse. I take full responsibility,” Lile Mendez told the judge through the video, according to the news agency AFP. Eric called his actions “cruel and coward”, echoing similar feelings.Los Angeles District Attorney George Gaskon filed an displeasure petition last year, citing new evidence supporting the claims of abuse and rehabilitation of brothers. Since their dislocation, they have pursued education, formed prisoner support groups, and have allegedly shown continuous remorse. “Without Lyle and Eric I can still be sitting there sitting there doing stupid things,” as quoted by AP as a testimony to former prisoner Annera Brown.However, the current Da Nathan Hochman opposed displeasure, saying that the brothers did not accept the responsibility for all their criminal conduct. ” He questioned his claims of misconduct and said, “Our situation is not ‘no’, this is’ never ‘, it is not’ yet.”Family support has been strong. A cousin, Tamara Gudel, told the court that he recently introduced his 13 -year -old son to the brothers in jail, believing that he could contribute positively when he is freed. Another, Ana Maria Baralt announced, “All of us, on both sides of the family, believe that 35 years is enough.”With reducing their sentences, the Menandage brothers can be potentially released as next month, pending a parole board review.
