California prosecutors have begun re-examining the Menendez brothers’ case to determine whether it is appropriate to express resentment and potentially release the two brothers after they were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989.

According to NBC News, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon announced that his office is reviewing possible evidence contained in petitions filed by the brothers last year alleging their father molested them.

He said the complaints were being investigated and that none of the information in the petition had been confirmed. The new information will be discussed at a hearing scheduled for November 26.

Gascon explained that depending on the court’s decision, the brothers could “get out.”

“Until we get there, we’re not sure yet where this is going to go,” he said.

Brothers Joseph “Lyle” (now 56) and Erik (53) were convicted in 1996 of murdering their parents with a shotgun in 1989.

After two trials, the brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole and have been in a California prison ever since.

This isn’t the first time the brothers have claimed they were sexually abused by their father; they made the same claims in their initial trials. Prosecutors then argued that the brothers killed their parents to gain a significant inheritance.

The first trial ended in a mistrial, but the brothers faced a retrial that minimized their molestation allegations. This trial ended with their convictions.

The potential sentencing announcement comes on the heels of a controversial Netflix series detailing their case titled “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.”

Erik, speaking through his wife, called the show’s version of their lives “blatant lies” and claimed it was “devastating” to Lyle.

Series creator Ryan Murphy defended the series, saying in: Entertainment tonight in an interview that he felt the show accurately portrayed the brothers’ story and gave them their “day in court”.

“I think it’s interesting that he made a statement without seeing the show. I know he didn’t see the show in prison. I hope he watches the show,” he said Entertainment tonight.

At least one other person agrees that their portrayal on the show was unfair; Kim Kardashian.

Kardashian, who has in the past advocated for prison reform and the innocence of those wrongly imprisoned, wrote an essay for NBC News in which she stated that “they are not monsters.”
