Summary

Eric and Lyle Menendez could be set free after Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon announced they would be resentenced for the 1989 murders of their parents. While a Netflix documentary has brought attention to the case to younger generations, questions remain on whether they should be freed. Retired NYPD Inspector and FOX News Contributor Paul Mauro discusses the facts of the case, shares his expertise on the evidence against the brothers, and explains why he believes the potential parole of the Menendez brothers might be based on public opinion rather than the facts.
