  Speaker 1: The decades long fight for freedom for Lyle and Eric
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Menendez took a dramatic turn Friday, as a van Ey's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: courtroom ignited with a flicker of hope. Judge Michael Jessic
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: delivered a stinging defeat to LA District Attorney Nathan Hoffman,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: rejecting his bid to block the brothers re sentencing. This
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: pivotal decision keeps Lyle fifty seven and Eric fifty four
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: alive in their thirty five year battle over the brutal
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Kitty Menendez. Defense attorney Mark Geragos erupted in praise, hailing
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the ruling that allows resentencing hearings to proceed next week
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: April seventeenth and eighteenth. Here he is at the courthouse
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: talking to the media. Take a listen.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Today is a good day justice. Justice won over politics.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It's been a long time coming for anybody who was
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: in the courtroom. It was very difficult to sit and
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: listen to what we witnessed, and we were obviously very
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: thankful to the judge. When I couldn't be proud of
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: representing this family. They've waited a long time to get
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: some justice in today. Who's actually probably the biggest day
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: since they've been in custody.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Had Judge Jessic sided with Hawkman, the entire re sentencing
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: process would have collapsed, likely condemning the brothers to life
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: without parole and extinguishing any realistic chance of parole. Convicted
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six, Lyle and Eric claimed self defense,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: alleging years of horrific sexual abuse by their father, Jose,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: as the motive for the Beverly Hill slangs. Prosecutors, however,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: argued that greed for the family's fourteen million dollar estate
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was the true catalyst. After a contentious legal battle marked
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: by a mistrial and a second trial that limited abuse evidence,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the brothers were handed life sentences. A glimmer of hope
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: emerged in twenty twenty four when former LADA George Gascone,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: citing new evidence, including Eric's nineteen eighty eight letter detailing
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: abuse and a Menudo member's rape allegations against Jose, pushed
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: for resentencing. However, Hawkman, elected in November, fiercely opposed this,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: arguing the brothers perceived lack of full accountability negated their eligibility.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Next week's hearings will be a crucial examination of the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: brother's rehabilitation, their achievements behind bars, and their long health
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: claims of abuse. A resentencing to a term that includes
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: parole eligibility considering their youth at the time of the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: crime hangs in the balance. While Garrigos decried Hawkman's opposition
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: as a politically motivated move, relatives have voice support for
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the brother's release. Even if resentencing fails, The possibility of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: clemency from California Governor Gaffaussom or a future habis petition
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: for a new trial still looms. The stage is now
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: set for a high stakes week that could either finally
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: grant the Menanda's brothers a chance at freedom or slam
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the door shut on their decades long struggle.
