Menendez brothers’ family to rally support in public plea for their freedom amid new evidence

Family members and supporters of Erik and Lyle Menendez will rally outside a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday to push for the brothers to be sentenced to lesser charges. They have been in prison for 34 years for killing their parents, but new evidence led the Los Angeles district attorney to reopen the case. A letter allegedly written by one of the brothers to a family member in 1988 referenced alleged abuse by the brothers’ parents.
