Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón** has announced that the Menéndez brothers case is being reviewed for possible resentencing or a new trial. The brothers have spent nearly 35 years behind bars for fatally shooting their parents in 1989. Now, prosecutors are looking at two new factors: a 1988 letter from Erik Menéndez to a cousin that appears to reference alleged abuse by his father, and an abuse allegation made by Roy Rosselló against José Menéndez. The review comes as renewed attention has been given to the case due to the release of the Netflix true crime drama series, "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story."
