Menendez Brothers Return to Court Seeking Freedom After 28 Years

Erik and Lyle Menendez, serving life sentences for the 1989 murder of their parents, are seeking to have their convictions vacated based on new evidence of alleged sexual abuse by their father. Their defense argues that this evidence, including a letter and a declaration from a former boy band member, supports their claims and could lead to their release or resentencing. The case is being reviewed by Judge Michael V. Jesic, with outgoing L.A. County D.A. George Gascón supporting a new sentence that could make them eligible for parole. The brothers' case has drawn significant public and media attention over the years.
