We’re additionally advised many cops at BHPD weren’t working when the murders went down, so they do not know the case all that properly or care as intensely about this case as older veterans.
That mentioned, we’re advised the cops with data of the case stand by their earlier investigation … saying they did their job and that is now the D.A.’s challenge.
In only a few hours, the D.A. will announce whether or not he’ll attempt to free the brothers. Gascón may go two methods — both ask a choose to resentence Erik and Lyle, or ask the choose to put aside the homicide conviction and impose a voluntary manslaughter conviction.
The utmost in Cali for voluntary manslaughter is 11 years, and the brothers have served practically 35 years … so if the choose indicators on, they might be launched. He’ll announce his choice throughout a information convention set for 1:30 PM PT.
