Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón announced on Wednesday that he is backing the clemency request from the Menendez brothers, which was submitted by their defense team on Oct. 28.
“I strongly support clemency for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are currently serving sentences of life without possibility of parole.
