Speaker 1: Crime Onlines.

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: John Lenley Eric and Lyle Menndez, convicted in nineteen ninety

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: six for the nineteen eighty nine murders of their parents,

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: will appear in court December eleventh for a resentencing hearing

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: that could potentially open the door for their release. The

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: Los Angeles County Superior Court date set by Judge Michael

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: Jesseck follows a recommendation by District Attorney George Gascone, who

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: suggested the brothers be eligible for parole under a new

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: sentence of fifty years to life. This decision considers their

41
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: young ages at the time of the crime and their

42
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: educational and rehabilitative efforts in prison. Both men, now in

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: their fifties, have completed several degrees and initiated programs for inmates,

44
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: including a beautification project led by Lyle Meanndez. While their

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: lawyers maintain the brothers acted in self defense following years

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 3: of alleged abuse by their fathers, some family members, as

47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: well as certain voices within Gascone's office, oppose the resentencing.

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: If the judge agrees to it, the Menendez brothers would

49
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: still need approval from the state Parole Board WI each.

50
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: California Governor Gavin Newsom would have one hundred and fifty

51
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 3: days to review the board's decision. This case has resurfaced

52
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: in public interest, partly due to a recent Netflix series

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: highlighting the brother's story. Governor k Newsom recently discussed the

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: case on iHeartRadio, mentioning that Gascon's recommendation and public opinion

55
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: are under review. The US government has imposed new sanctions

56
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: on senior operatives tied to the Mexican cartel La Linea,

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: a violent drug trafficking group linked to the Warez cartel.

58
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: We hear details now from crime Online Sidney Sumner.

59
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: Five individuals and two companies now face economic restrictions aimed

60
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: at curbing the flow of fentanyl and synthetic drug smuggled

61
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: from Chihuahua, Mexico, into the US. This action targets a

62
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: primary source of fentanyl, a deadly opioid contributing to America's

63
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: overdose crisis. Between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty one, drug

64
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: overdose deaths in the US rose more than sevenfold, since

65
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: CDC data shows a slight decline in twenty twenty three.

66
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: Over the past two years, the Treasury has sanctioned more

67
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: than three hundred and fifty individuals and entities involved in

68
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: drug trafficking. Most fentanyl smuggled into the US originates in

69
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Mexico and China, with nearly all precursor chemicals for the

70
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: drug coming from China, according to the DEA. In a

71
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: statement released in recent days, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Audieima

72
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: warned that quote if law Linia continues to directly contribute

73
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: to the proliferation of deadly fentanyl throughout our communities. The

74
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: Treasury will continue to use every tool in our arsenal

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: to go after their criminal activity. President Biden has stepped

76
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: up efforts against ventanyl traffickers, including the bipartisan Fendoff Fentanyl Act,

77
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: which recognizes international fentanyl trafficking as a national emergency.

78
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: The issue of fentanyl trafficking, closely linked to border and

79
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: immigration debates, remains a significant focus of the twenty four

80
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: presidential race.

81
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680
