Erik and Lyle Menendez have been resentenced to 50 years to life, becoming eligible for parole after serving time for the 1989 murder of their parents. They previously faced life without parole. During the resentencing hearing, both expressed remorse for their actions and accepted responsibility. Family members testified they have changed and work positively with inmates. Parole will require review by California's state board and may take months, with clemency from Governor Newsom also remaining an option for immediate freedom.
I killed my mom and dad. I make no excuses. I take full responsibility. I lied to you and forced you into a spotlight of public humiliation.
My actions were criminal, selfish, cruel and cowardly. I've had to stop being selfish and immature to really understand the shock, confusion and betrayal my parents must have felt.
