"Menendez Brothers Seek Freedom with New Evidence"

Lyle and Erik Menendez, who have been imprisoned for over three decades for the murder of their parents, are hoping that new evidence, including a letter and a sworn affidavit, will lead to the reopening of their case. Their lawyer argues that the evidence supports their claims of lifelong abuse and lessens their culpability, suggesting that they should have been convicted of manslaughter instead of first-degree murder. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office is investigating the claims, and a judge's decision is pending.
