An aunt of notorious killers Erik and Lyle Menendez is in critical condition after Los Angeles prosecutors displayed a graphic photo of murder victim José Menendez during a resentencing hearing for the siblings, their family said. “In open court, and without any prior warning, prosecutors displayed an unredacted, graphic image of José Menendez’s lifeless body — an act that retraumatized family members in attendance and led to the hospitalization of José’s 85-year-old sister, Terry Baralt, who is now in critical condition,” the Justice for Erik and Lyle Coalition said in a statement Sunday. The Menendez family has also called for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to be removed from the case following the “disturbing and reckless decision,” according to NBC News, saying prosecutors are “incapable of handling this process with the fairness, care, or neutrality required by law.
