On Thursday, the Los -Angeles was the first hearing of the brothers in Los -Angeles and would return to the court on May 9 when they were trying to get out of prison for the murder of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez in 1989.
Prosecutor Los -Angeles Tr Lavell told Fox News Digital that defense focuses on three major strategies: rehabilitation of the brothers, witness testimonies and revision of the sexual abuse they claim that the children survived.
“They have changed since the crimes occurred,” Lavelle said, citing many years after confiscation, including the college degree in UC IRVine, leading self-help classes, as well as launching support programs such as green space and care initiative.

Supporting their request, it is expected that protection will present testimony from prison guards, supporters and family members, including those who once opposed their release.
“The fact that family members now support their release is very powerful,” Lawel added.

The defender claims that 85-year-old brothers Terry Barlet was injured by watching graphic photos of the crime scene. After the hearings, she was hospitalized.
“We are devastated to share the fact that Terry Barlet was hospitalized and is in critical condition after the brutal and careless behavior of the Los -Andgeles prosecutor’s office,” the family said. “No physical pain never interfered with her to be there for her nephews.
“I would not want my family to see these images,” Judge Michael Jessic said in court.
Gelman said the defense audience is not a public perception – but to the judges. He said that the color of the district prosecutor Nathan Hochman as an “excessive or vindictive” could help shake the decision in favor of the brothers’ application for freedom or a reduced sentence.

“The risk assessment report is something that should be borne in mind that the parole is not a factor in the answer,” he explained. “Fair factors are the age of Eric and Lila during the killings Victims of sexual abuseRehabilitation is also being rehabilitated. “
Focusing on these factors and rejecting the risk argument to the Parish Council, Rakhmani said, the defense strategically manages the judge to a decision that can make parole without announcing their free men today.
