The Mindez brothers, who are sentenced to life imprisonment for their parents in 1989 at their home in Beverly Hills, appears in front of a judicial committee starting today, Thursday, to consider the condition of conditional release.
Lael and Eric Mendez are among the most prominent prisoners in America, and their trials were in the early nineties of the first trials to be broadcast on television.
The series “Monsters: The story of Lyle: The Lyle and Erik Mendez Story and a documentary produced by” Netflix “to revive interest in the case, after the” Me Too “movement changed the perception of the victims of sexual assaults.
The members of the two brothers are calling for their conditional release, after it justified the murder by being subjected to sexual assaults from their father, and their case has the support of a number of celebrities.
They were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of conditional release, and their sentences were reduced in May after more than 3 decades in prison, making them eligible for the conditional release that should be taken by a decision of the California Reform and Rehabilitation Department.
The two brothers must persuade the authorities that they support what they committed and do not pose any danger to society.
At the time of the crime, the Public Prosecution accused the two young men who were 18 and 21 years old of killing their parents for the inheritance of their wealth of $ 14 million.
The committee consisting of two or 3 members will listen to the two brothers via video of their imprisonment in San Diego. Eric Mendez, 54, is scheduled to represent Thursday, while Layl, 57, is expected to represent on Friday.
Even if the committee recommends the conditional release of the Mindez brothers, they will not be released from prison immediately. The operation may take up to 4 months, while the final decision of the California Governor Gavin Newsum returns.
