Ricardo "Ricky" Sanders, now 69 , and an accomplice, Franklin Freeman Jr. , were convicted in 1980 massacre at Bob 's Big Boy.

They forced 11 people into a walk-in freezer at a restaurant, robbed them and shot at them from behind.

Sanders got the death penalty but has not been executed amid appeals and California placing a moratorium on capital punishment.

Sanders has run out of appeals and is fighting for a resentencing.

Joseph Menendez and Erik Menendez have been in California prisons since 1996 , serving life without parole for their parents' 1989 slayings.

Gascon , who has long opposed the death penalty, filed another resentencing petition for those two convicted killers as well.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week he would reserve judgment on the Menendez brothers' case until his successor has a chance to review it.
