Some cops in Beverly Hills aren’t glad Erik and Lyle Menendez may presumably be launched … with some officers going so far as blasting it as a political transfer.
Regulation enforcement sources inform TMZ … a number of officers with the Beverly Hills Police Division — the town the place the murders occurred — say Los Angeles County District Legal professional George Gascón is making an attempt to win political factors by letting the brothers out of jail.
He is fallen behind within the polls to his opponent for the place, Nathan Hochman, and a few officers see this as an enormous swing to get himself again within the race.
It isn’t that cops do not essentially imagine the brothers’ claims their dad Jose abused them, our sources say … they’re simply do not assume that justifies the brutal shotgun murders of their mother and father.
We’re additionally informed many cops at BHPD weren’t working when the murders went down, so they do not know the case all that effectively or care as intensely about this case as older veterans.
That mentioned, we’re informed the cops with data of the case stand by their earlier investigation … saying they did their job and that is now the D.A.’s concern.
In just some hours, the D.A. will announce whether or not he’ll attempt to free the brothers. Gascón may go two methods — both ask a choose to resentence Erik and Lyle, or ask the choose to put aside the homicide conviction and impose a voluntary manslaughter conviction.
The utmost in Cali for voluntary manslaughter is 11 years, and the brothers have served almost 35 years … so if the choose indicators on, they might be launched. He’ll announce his determination throughout a information convention set for 1:30 PM PT.
