Brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez, jailed more than 30 years ago for the brutal murders of their parents in Beverly Hills, may be just weeks away from answers in their bid for freedom. But the actions of a newly-installed district attorney have cast doubt on whether their fight for release will be successful.
Newly-elected Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said at a Friday press conference that he has asked the court to reject the Menendez brothers' request for a new trial.
The 1989 killing in their Beverly Hills home, and the trials that followed, sparked documentaries, films and a TV series that have renewed public interest in the case.
