Over 20 Menendez relatives, including the brothers' aunt in her first-ever interview, are advocating for Lyle and Erik Menendez's release from prison after 35 years. A hearing will determine whether their resentencing petition, opposed by the District Attorney due to lack of remorse, proceeds. Alternative paths to freedom include clemency consideration by Governor Newsom and a habeas corpus petition based on new evidence of abuse. The brothers maintain their innocence and claim they acted in self-defense.
