Lyle and Erik Menendez‘s lawyer is feeling assured after the L.A. County District Legal professional’s Workplace introduced they’re reviewing new proof … which may doubtlessly consequence within the brothers’ launch from jail.
We had Mark Geragos on “TMZ Live” Friday, the place he defined why he has a constructive outlook about his purchasers’ case following Thursday’s press convention. As Geragos places it … D.A. George Gascón is courageous to the touch the controversial 35-year-old case in an election 12 months, as Gascón himself is on the poll in November.
The lawyer feels the D.A. is critical when he mentioned his workplace is reviewing sexual abuse claims Lyle and Erik have made in opposition to their late father, Jose Menendez. These allegations weren’t allowed to be introduced within the brothers’ 2nd homicide trial … which led to their life with out parole convictions.
The notorious brothers have been tried twice for the 1989 murders of their mother and father, Jose and Kitty Menendez … with their first trial leading to a mistrial after the jury was left deadlocked.
As as to if the Menendez brothers will stand trial once more … watch the video, Geragos suggests there’s a neater answer, given the actual fact so many witnesses have since died.
Geragos notes California judges have the facility to recall the homicide sentence, scale back it to a manslaughter cost and provides the brothers “time served” … which might permit them to depart jail free males.
He added … “To me, that’s exactly what should happen right now.”
Whereas Geragos has inspired Lyle and Erik to not get too excited amid the evaluation of proof … he admitted that he is feeling “hopeful” for his purchasers.
