Prosecutors will recommend Erik and Lyle Menendez be re-sentenced for the 1989 killings of their parents in the family’s Beverly Hills home, providing the brothers with a chance at freedom after 34 years behind bars.

An official with knowledge of the decision who was not authorised to speak on the record ahead of a planned press conference confirmed that Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón would recommend re-sentencing for the brothers.

They were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors must now seek court approval for their re-sentencing recommendation.

Lyle Menendez, then 21, and Erik Menendez, then 18, admitted they fatally shot their entertainment executive father, Jose Menendez, and their mother, Kitty Menendez. The brothers said they feared their parents were about to kill them to stop people from finding out that Jose Menendez had sexually abused Erik Menendez for years.

She shot Poston six times in the face, back and torso before calling 911 where she admitted to the dispatcher that “I killed my boyfriend”.

She claimed Poston had pushed her and thrown her around in the lead-up to the shots being fired but three of her cell mates testified saying she boasted about giving Poston the “nose job he always wanted” and laughed about his death.

She told police he was “very vain” and that “one of our last conversations we had that was good was that he wants to get a nose job.”

“And I shot him right here. I gave him his nose job he wanted. I broke it.”

Two juries found her guilty of murder.

Inmate looking for love

Now, 12 years since the murders and six years since she married a transgender woman in a 30-second jailhouse ceremony, Hubers is back on the market and wanting to find love after splitting seven months following their wedding.

Using a WriteAPrisoner profile, a source where inmates can connect with people outside of jail, Hubers uploaded 15 photos of herself, including some taken from inside prison.

In her bio, she claims others don’t know what she has been through and is hoping to be a free woman soon.

“I am a tall and thin brunette standing at 5′9″ inches (175cm) tall and 115 pounds (52kgs) with lots of long, wavy, golden brown hair; big steel blue doe eyes, and a wide, bright smile on a heart-shaped face,” she said.

“No one really knows or can explain what I’ve been through besides me.”

In it, she hit out at “false conviction theories” and claimed her case was used for “television ratings”.

“I’ve been through a heartbreaking journey, but I haven’t given up on meeting someone true, loyal, loving, respectful, non-judgmental, and devoted,” she said.

She is eligible for parole in 2032 and has been in custody since she was 21.
