Menendez brothers should be released on parole, top LA prosecutor says | BBC News

Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in a case that shook America more than three decades ago, are a step closer to being released on parole. A Los Angeles County district attorney has recommended that the brothers be resentenced by a judge because new evidence merited a review. They are currently serving life in prison without possibility of parole in California. For the brothers to gain their freedom, a judge would have to agree with the recommendation and then a parole board approve their release. The 1989 murders of Kitty and Jose Menendez in their Beverly Hills mansion have gripped the US for years, recently inspiring a popular Netflix series.
