| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things Dominic Dunn, and today, friends. |
| 0:08.6 | It is a double drop this week with some late breaking news. Just this week, we did get an update about the Menendez brothers and their continuing battle through the California legal system. |
| 0:23.6 | It's so rare that we get to do an update about something we have covered in great detail here on |
| 0:30.2 | Dun & Dun in present day. |
| 0:33.3 | We have extensively here on Dun and Dun covered Dominic's coverage of the Menendez trial, |
| 0:42.1 | The Crime. You can find those episodes back in the late 180s to early 190s episodes. |

| 2:17.4 | originally sentenced to life without parole in 1996. |
| 2:23.5 | Although they're not exactly close to being released from prison, even a resentencing is a testament to their defense attorney's audacious legal maneuvering. Lyle and Eric expressed |
| 2:38.1 | deep remorse during the hearing, acknowledging their actions, and the pain caused. Their |
| 2:45.8 | defense highlighted rehabilitation efforts, including educational achievements and positive contributions within the |
| 2:53.2 | prison community. The defense had also urged the court to resentence the brothers for the lesser |
