Menendez Brothers' Resentencing Delayed Until May 9

Narrative A

Lyle and Erik Menendez deserve resentencing, particularly due to new evidence — a letter from Erik and Roy Rossello's testimony — supporting their claims of severe childhood abuse by their father. This trauma, increasingly recognized as a mitigating factor, drove their targeted act. With no prior violence, good prison behavior, and a low risk to society, they warrant parole consideration. Justice demands that trauma be weighed, especially after the brothers have spent decades in prison.
