(Reuters) -Relatives of Lyle and Erik Menendez, brothers imprisoned for life for killing their parents more than three decades ago, said on Wednesday they were meeting with prosecutors to request the men be freed.
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon said earlier this month that his office was reviewing new evidence that could lead to the release or a new trial of the brothers, who have long said they killed their parents at their Beverly Hills home because of sexual abuse they endured at their hands.
