Erik and Lyle Menendez may take the stand subsequent Thursday to persuade the decide of their resentencing listening to they’re worthy of redemption … however in response to their lawyer, it could possibly be a high-risk transfer.

Mark Geragos jumped on the “2 Offended Males” podcast Friday from the Van Nuys Courthouse, recent off a victory the place the decide shut down the D.A.’s request to place the kibosh on any resentencing listening to.

Excuse the intro to the clip — it is a pisser — however a little bit methods in, Harvey asks Mark about his technique to probably name the bros to the stand. Harvey has spent a while speaking to Erik and Lyle, and says plainly they offered themselves as compelling males who may impress the decide.

Mark says there’s danger in calling them, as a result of he believes the decide will give prosecutors free reign to make their case towards resentencing, and he is all however certain the case they’re going to make shall be all in regards to the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez. If Erik and Lyle testify, they’re going to be cross examined on the crimes, and that would get dicey and, frankly, off level.

The purpose of the listening to is to find out if Erik and Lyle are rehabilitated and in the event that they pose a hazard to the neighborhood, however prosecutors have to date targeted primarily on the killings.
