Dear District Attorney Gascón, I am writing to urge you to reconsider the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez and support a resentencing appeal. The traumatic abuse they suffered at the hands of their father was a pivotal factor in their actions, and it was not given the weight it deserved during their trial. New evidence, including the testimony of Roy Rosselló and the letter from Erik to his cousin, underscores the lifelong abuse they endured. These factors must be fully considered, and they deserve an opportunity for a fair hearing. The justice system has evolved in its understanding of abuse, and now it’s time for the Menendez brothers' case to reflect that progress. Please take this step toward justice and give Lyle and Erik the chance to be heard.

Dear District Attorney Gascón, I respectfully urge you to advocate for a resentencing appeal for Lyle and Erik Menendez. Their trial took place under a legal and societal framework that failed to recognize the full impact of abuse on their actions. Today, the understanding of trauma and its effects on victims has advanced, and this should be applied to their case. The recent revelations about their father’s abuse, corroborated by family members and other evidence, warrant a re-examination of their sentence. I believe that, given a fair and thorough review of all the facts, a more just outcome can be achieved. Justice demands that we reconsider their case in light of this new information. I trust that you will make the right decision and move forward with an appeal. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am writing to ask you to support a resentencing appeal for Lyle and Erik Menendez. As survivors of severe childhood sexual abuse, their actions must be viewed through the lens of trauma and survival. The judicial system at the time of their trial did not adequately account for their experiences as victims of abuse, and they were sentenced without the full context of their suffering being considered. With society now more aware of the profound effects of sexual abuse, particularly on male victims, I believe it is time to re-examine their case. The Menendez brothers should be given a chance to present all the evidence that was either ignored or minimized in their original trial. Please stand with survivors of sexual abuse and ensure that justice is served by supporting their appeal for resentencing.
