Ryan Murphy's true-crime drama about Lyle and Erik Menendez, coupled with a Netflix documentary, has renewed public interest in the brothers' murder convictions. As their supporters claim they were victims of abuse, Los Angeles prosecutors are reassessing the case, with a court hearing planned to discuss possible resentencing. There is significant public and legal interest, suggesting the brothers may have a strong chance of achieving freedom due to new evidence of past abuse that was originally not allowed in court.
The coinciding release of Netflix's The Menendez Brothers documentary in early October further intensified interest in the case, sparking calls for reexamination and potential release.
Los Angeles prosecutors are now reviewing the case, with a scheduled court proceeding to discuss potential resentencing in light of new evidence, including sexual abuse allegations.
