Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman released a statement after a judge resentenced the Menendez brothers.
I killed my mom and dad,” Lyle Menendez, now 57, said at a resentencing hearing Tuesday. “I make no excuses. I take full responsibility.”
Erik and Lyle Menendez, wearing blue prison uniforms, listened as relatives broke down in tears, begging the judge to set them free during the first day of a two-day hearing.
At a L.A. hearing for the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of the 1989 murder of their parents, relatives testified that they want them released.
Judge Michael Jesic says he has decided to resentence the Menendez brothers to 50 years to life, with the possibility of parole.
