Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez have paid their debt to society and should be made eligible for immediate parole.

Gascon said the ages of the brothers when the crime occurred and their subsequent efforts to improve themselves and help others while imprisoned without any hope of eventual release shows they have rehabilitated themselves and would not be a danger to society if released from prison.
