() The Los Angeles district attorney is set to give an update Monday on the case status of the Menendez brothers, who have been in prison for nearly three decades after the 1989 killing of their parents. 

Erik and Lyle Menendez had been pushing for a new trial, citing new evidence of their father’s sexual abuse, but District Attorney Nathan Hochman cast doubt over the evidence and opposed their petition, calling the brothers’ sexual abuse claims “untrustworthy.”

“Sexual abuse in this situation may have been a motivation for Erik and Lyle to do what they did, but it does not constitute self-defense,” Hochman said last month.

But Hochman said he had yet to make a decision on their resentencing bid, which could lead to the brothers’ freedom.

The brothers’ case was re-opened in October of last year, when then-District Attorney George Gascón announced that his office would reexamine the case in light of the new evidence, which included a letter alleging sexual abuse purportedly written by Erik Menendez just months before he and his brother, Lyle, fatally shot their parents in Beverly Hills. 

Following an initial mistrial, the Menendez brothers were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1996 without possibility of parole. The brothers were 21 and 18 at the time. 

The Menendez brothers, now in their 50s, have spent nearly 30 years in prison. According to family member Tamara Goodell, they have “created careers for themselves” while incarcerated, starting numerous peer support groups and initiatives.

They have also submitted a clemency plea to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who previously said he would not make a decision until Hochman reviewed the case.

The case has gained new traction after Netflix began streaming the true-crime drama “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.”
