The Los Angeles district attorney has released new evidence in the Lyle and Erik Menendez case that could potentially lead to a review of their life sentences for murder. The Menendez brothers were convicted of murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty, in 1996, following a mistrial in their first trial.
During the trials, the brothers claimed they acted in self-defense, citing a history of sexual abuse by their father. Prosecutors argued against the abuse claims, leading to the brothers' conviction and life sentences without parole.
