As the Los Angeles County district attorney considers new evidence that may lead to the release of Lyle and Erik Menendez from prison after over 30 years, nearly two dozen of their relatives are expected to advocate for them at a news conference on Wednesday.
In 1996, the Menendez brothers were convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty, in their Beverly Hills home. Despite admitting to the killings, both men argued during their trial that they were acting in self-defense and had endured years of physical and sexual abuse from their father.
