Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two brothers whose grisly 1989 murder of their wealthy parents was the subject of a recent Netflix series, could be released from prison after a US prosecutor said Thursday he would ask a judge to look again at their sentences.
The pair were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for the shotgun slayings in the family's swanky Beverly Hills home, following a blockbuster trial that gripped the United States and grabbed headlines around the world.
