VAN NUYS, Calif.—Attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez are set to ask a judge Monday to reconsider the convictions of the brothers, who are serving life sentences without parole for the 1989 shotgun slayings of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion.
Defense attorney Mark Geragos says he will ask the judge during the hearing to resentence the Menendez brothers on the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter based on what he alleges is new evidence. Such a ruling could lead to the brothers’ release from prison.
