Like I said I don't know much about the original murders, but apart from the fact that this is one of the most infamous crimes in history and one of the more famous stories from the 90s, its relevance to today's landscape is interesting.
As bkgd, the LA DA is George Gascon - I'm assuming he has heavy influence on the resentencing (if not being the outright drive behind the resentencing). Gascon was the DA in SF between Kamala and Chesa Boudin. He was criticized by many for his lenient policies wrt bail reform and lower level offenses- policies which Chesa Boudin continued in his tenure. This was in the mid teens when the crime rate started skyrocketing in the City and he caught flak for it. He left for LA for personal reasons and got elected outright as DA (and subsequently re-elected a couple years ago).
30 years under that ground is a long time - if this starts a productive national discussion on what helpful reform looks like in the prison system I'm here for it.
