Major announcement in the Menendez Brothers case by LA County DA
The LA County district attorney is about to make an announcement about the Menendez brothers, who have been in prison for nearly 35 years for the murder of their parents.
The brothers — Erik And Lyle — have filed an appeal asking to have their convictions overturned because the judge in the second trial refused to allow testimony Jose Menendez is said to have abused both his sons.
A former member of the band Menudo has come forward alleging that Jose, a music executive, had abused him. This opened the door for an appeal because critical evidence was not admitted.
The best case scenario for the brothers – if they get a new trial and the jury finds them guilty of voluntary manslaughter and not murder, they would immediately be free men because they would have served more than the maximum sentence.
The press conference is scheduled for 2:30 PM and we will stream live.
Stay informed.
