((The stakes couldn't have been higher, death by execution or life in prison
without possibility of parole. The 28-year old Lyle Menendez and his 25 year
old brother Erik were surprisingly stonefaced as they listened to a jury
decide their fate. Only a small sigh of relief was audible when the 8-man,
4-woman jury spared their lives and recommended instead that the brothers
spend the rest of their lives for the murders of their parents.
GIL GARCETTI/LOS ANGELES DISTRICT ATTORNEY:
It's been seven years and two trials since Jose and Kitty Menendez were found
murdered in their Beverly Hills mansion. The first trial ended in mis-trial.
Then on march 20th the jury found Erik and Lyle guilty of first degree murder
with special circumstances. The D.A. argued for the death penalty saying if
anyone deserved it, the Menendez boys did, and that although they were only 18
and 21 years old at the time, jurors should have no sympathy and should
remember instead how the boys ambushed their parents with 12 gauge shotguns
while Mr. and Mrs. Menendez were watching TV.
LESLIE ALESLIE ABRAMSON/DEFENSE ATTORNEY: THEY BOYS WILL BE PRODUCTIVE IN JAIL.
THEY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY. EVEN SOME MEMBERS OF THE JURY SAID THEY
BELIEVED THE TWO WILL FIND A WAY TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN JAIL.
In both trials the brothers contended they were victims of sexual, physical and
emotional abuse by their parents, and they killed their mother and father for
fear of their own lives. In Los Angeles, Jennifer Sabih, For CBS News.))
