lunes mucha atención se va a realizar el caso en la audiencia de los hermanos menéndez lane y eric menéndeze habeas corpus, con el que buscan demostrar que sus condenas son inconstitucionales, sus abogados argumentan que el segundo juicio se excluyó evidencia sobre el abuso sexual que habría cometido su padre contra ellos. y precisamente esa era la segunda alternativa con la que sus abogados buscaban sacarlo de prisión al intentar obtener también la clemencia por parte del gobernador newsom. eso fue hace algunos días atrás. el gobernador newsom dijo que no todavía, pero analicemos qué otras alternativas tienen ellos para salir de prisión. aquí hay algunos escenarios. son 2 específicamente. el otro escenario que podría darles la libertad a los hermanos menéndez depende del fiscal nanette barragan oakland. recordemos que el futuro alentador del que se habló hace algunas semanas, cuando el fiscal george zaccone recomendó que se revise la sentencia, cambió cuando gascón perdió su reelección ante hawkman, pues la audiencia está programada para esta fecha, el 11 de diciembre, cuando gascón ya no

los esfuerzos de eric y menéndez para reducir sus condenas de cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional el 11 de diciembre y la postergó hasta el 30 de enero del próximo año. el caso no solo ha despertado el interés de los medios de comunicación a nivel nacional, sino también del público. el tribunal permitió que 16 personas ingresaran a la sala de la corte a través de un sistema de lotería. nosotros platicamos con varios de ellos. también emocionante con tantas emociones, porque ya sabes, eran como casi 60 personas que vinieron el último número. le dije oh, gracias a dios, estoy bien emocionado. los hermanos llevan ya 35 años en prisión por el asesinato de sus padres. josé y kiley menéndez, en la casa de la familia en beverly hills, el 20 de agosto de 1989. el mes pasado, el fiscal de distrito saliente del condado de los Ángeles, george gascon, dijo que apoyaba la reducción de sus sentencias a 50 años y cadena perpetua, una reducción que los haría elegibles para la libertad condicional de inmediato. esa decisión fue aplaudida por muchos miembros de la familia menéndez, quienes han abog

country all new tuesday at nine on hgtv hours from now the menendez brothers are set to make their first public court appearance in nearly 30 years. >> eric and lyle menendez are expected to appear virtually for what is a status hearing, but it really seems to represent so much more than that at this point. the hearing involves a habeas corpus petition filed by their lawyers last year asking for a review of new evidence not presented at their original trial. there they're both serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for the murder of their parents. back in the 1980s, a case that was a public sensation is now spawned what many netflix and other kind of docu series as well seen as jean casarez is following all of this for us, and she's here now what could come from this hearing? jean well, normally a status hearing just means we're getting everything in order. >> where are we now? where are we going? but you never know what's going to happen. you know, you just touched on this. i think it's important. there's two pathways that george gascon has been so so, um strong in wanting to get this result. first of all, there is the

lyle and eric menendez were convicted in the grizzly shotgun murders of their parents in 1989 when they and 21 years old. the brothers claimed they had been sexual assaultly abused by their father. but prosecutors argued money was the motive. now, three decades later, l.a. d.a. george gascÓn believed they paid their debt to society and should be resentenced for a chance at parole. but the newly elected d.a. nathan hawk man says he needs more time to review the case before announcing his decision. >> right before the election, george ghast gascÓn resentencing now it is up to incoming district attorney nathan hochman the question is to honor and tomorrow it will be really important. >> monday status conference expected to address where the proceeding stands on that sentencing recommendation and remember the court date original set or the hearing still practical and possible guys if >> all right chanly thank you. >> thank you. >> apparently george soros and netflix are in charge of justice in california. way to go. yeah. good point. now turning to your headlines. a man accused of stealing

member of the group menudo, has come forward saying that he was sexually assaulted by jose menendez, the father of eric and lyle. when he was a young boy. because jose menendez was a record executive he dealt with menudo and they are saying once again, if a jury had known this, that there could be a different verdict. so that's what the issue is with the habeas petition, which we understand according to upcoming ddr hochman will be focused on today in court. >> yeah, it's also just, you know, so many years later, it's a different time when it comes to understanding of sexual abuse of men and boys. so you also have that as well. and there's this other hearing gene for the menendez brothers. it's set for about two weeks from now, december 11th. tell us about this one. >> well, this one is the other road. and this would be on rehabilitation. now next week, nathan hochman becomes the district attorney. he's a different district attorney. he's going to be then gascon because he campaigned on tough sentencing. smart sentencing, but fair sentencing he says that he hasn't even begun to look at the record yet.

. ♪ edward: less than an hour bio and eric menendez are said to appear in the court for the first time years for hearing on their bid to be released from prison. the brothers are serving a life sentence after being convicted of the fathers or parents killing in 1989 escorted jonathan hot does the outstanding of the district attorney change things in this. >> it may change things there are so many streams of this from the hearing which is underway and about an hour today the resentencing hearing which will be part of today's proceedings that actually takes place on december 11 and the clemency campaign which governor gavin newsom said he will not grant at this point of the legal process plays out. we may see the brothers today we expect to see them in a virtual setting they will be appearing by video from the present where they have spent the last 30 years in san diego, the attorneys meantime will argue as they have done over the last few months that there is no evidence that backs up the brothers eric and lyle's claims of abuse and there is new societal attitudes toward the abuse, they

presented including claims their father jose menendez raped former latin pop star roy as well as eric menendezusin describing how his father sexually abused the brother. l.a. county deputy d.a. john lewin joined us earlier to tell us what this hearing will look like. >> you are going to see the cooperation, what is in essence of a joint effort by d.a. masquerading. defense attorney masquerading as a d.a. and see them jointly try to probably push the judge to make a decision today, i don't think it's going to happen. and it would not surprise me if the judge decides that he needs more time. >> todd:e case to republican los angeleual, mr. hoffman is sworn. in sentencing request scheduled to be considered on december 11th. that hearing begins 1:30 p.m. eastern time. lawrence, over to you. >> lawrence: thanks, todd, we'll be following it. as vice president kamala harris disappears from the spotlight. senator elect adam schiff is putting a stop to the election blame game. >> senator elect, do you believe that president biden bears some responsibility for staying in too long? >> look, i think the en

lyle menendez who have been serving life sentences without parole for the 1989 shotgun killings of their parents. >> i wanted it to stop. >> reporter: they claim they acted in self-defense after eric said he suffered years of sexual abuse by their father. >> if jose menendez was sexually abusing eric, that didn't give eric the right to kill his father. it didn't give lyle the right to kill either his mother or father under the law. >> reporter: their attorney arguing new evidence proves their claims and had it been presented in court, it may have altered the jury's decision. >> the attitude is, it's been a roller coaster of emotion. >> reporter: renewed interest prompting the court to set up a lottery system for 16 seats in the courtroom. what do you make of this? >> this is reminiscent of the oj trial from decades ago. >> reporter: before he lost re-election, the l.a. county dchl a. recommended they be resentenced and freed. his successor addressing concerns over the amount of attention the brothers' case is getting. >> menendez get no special treatment. they get equal treatment. >> reporter: supporters, including their family, have argued the public had a different view of sexua

so that evidence, along with a letter that eric menendez wrote before the killings alleging his sexual abuse, the defense says is enough to ask the court to reconsider their sentence and their conviction. so again, this was essentially the way that they reopened up this case and got more attention because of the docuseries, because of another show on netflix and a lot of interest from the public. the question here is not whether or not the brothers killed their parents. they have admitted to doing so, but their defense has argued that they did it in self-defense. after years of sexual abuse and emotional and physical abuse by their parents, the prosecution at the time argued that it was a premeditated and actually motivated by them wanting their parents money. and so, 30 years later, we'll have to wait and see what the judge decides to do tomorrow. but even more consequential is a hearing scheduled for december 11th. that's the resentencing hearing. so that may have higher and bigger consequences for the two brothers, as we all follow this case that has now become just the latest in al

sexual abuse by jose menendez, the father of the two brothers, so that along with a letter that eric menendez wrote before the killings describing the sexual abuse is what the defense team says should be used and is why they are asking a court to reconsider the sentence and the conviction. and so the district attorney here in los angeles agreed with the defense. the problem for the defense is that that district attorney was essentially voted out of office. nathan hochman the incoming district attorney here in little bit different. here's what he told us now as to whether or not i'm going to support that particular motion or not. >> you got to do the hard work to make that decision. you got to review thoroughly the facts and the law you need to actually speak to the prosecutors, speak to law enforcement officers, speak to the defense counsel and speak to any victim family members as well only after i do all that work will i be in a position to weigh in on the menendez case, because then i'm not only going to weigh in on it, i'll have to defend that decision in court and the question here is no
