Menendez brothers seek reevaluation of life sentences due to new evidence of alleged abuse.

The attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez will ask a judge to reconsider their life sentences for their parents' 1989 murders, citing new evidence of sexual abuse. Los Angeles' former District Attorney, George Gascon, had supported resentencing them to manslaughter, but his successor, Nathan Hochman, will review the case. The Menendez brothers have maintained their killings were in self-defense due to alleged abuse.
