November 6, 2024 — Dateline NBC will air a two-hour special Friday, November 8 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on the latest developments in the high-profile murder trial of Lyle and Erik Menendez that continues to captivate the nation.
The broadcast features a new interview with Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who recently filed a motion for a resentencing hearing for the brothers. As a scripted tv show reignites public interest in the Menendez case, Dateline will report on the latest, including a letter seemingly written by Erik to his cousin before the murders. Gascón tells Morrison: “This is not about whether they committed the crime, they did. This is about 35 years of rehabilitation under state law, can they be released safely?”

During The Menendez Brothers: Chance at Freedom, the prosecutor from the brothers’ 1993 trial, Pamela Bozanich, opens up about defending herself against a wave of recent online criticism. She tells Morrison in a new interview that she bought a Mossberg shotgun to arm herself, which is the same type of gun used in the killings of the brothers’ parents. Click here to watch exchange
The episode also features interviews with additional key players in the case, including never-before-aired excerpts from Morrison’s 2017 interview with Lyle.
