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?”
