Wouldn't there typically be a retrial, or a judge would review the case?
But hey, Hollywood spoke (Kim Kardashian) and Gascon responded.
Does this open Los Angeles up to an unlawfully incarcerated lawsuit?
You don't suppose the fact that he is up for re-election has anything to do with it as his term is up this year.......

They would not really have a case wrt being "unlawfully incarcerated." That's for innocent people who were wrongly convicted. Their convictions would stand but they would simply be re-sentenced to 25 years to life instead of life w/o parole and with 35 years served, they would be eligible for parole.
By all accounts, they have been model prisoners and I don't think that thee is fear of them committing further crimes if released. They have matured and evolved as people. I'm OK with them being paroled, I just have never personally bought their defense arguments.
