Menendez brothers annoy

Lyle and Erik Menendez were taken against life on Tuesday with the possibility of probation on Tuesday and put the stage for their possible release after more than three decades behind bars because they killed their parents in their mansion of Beverly Hills.

The decision by judge Michael V. Jesic from the Supreme Court of Los Angeles was made after a day full of statements by family members who said that the brothers had turned their lives in prison through education and self -help groups. They asked the court to reduce the punishments of the brothers for the murders of 1989.

While Jesic's decision in the long efforts of the brothers to win the publication was the most important legal step, it is not the last step. When reducing the brothers' punishments, the judge allowed them to be authorized immediately.

Now the attention of the state's probation committee will be. As early as June 13, the brothers should appear in front of the board as part of the mercy of governor Gavino Newsom, a separate process that has developed in parallel to the resources.

The decision to annoy the brothers is a remarkable turn in a saga that has attracted the nation's attention for decades. In 1989 the story of sexual abuse and murder was irresistible to the media and public in one of the most careful cities in America and had an even greater obsession with another story of Los Angeles – the murder case against OJ Simpson.

The brothers said they broke into the cave of their Beverly Hills men's house on a Sunday evening in 1989 and killed their parents with shotguns because they had suffered sexual abuse from their father for years. They said they feared that their parents would kill them to keep abuse secret. At that time was Lyle 21 and Erik, 18.
