A Los Angeles County district attorney has recommended that Erik and Lyle Menendez be resentenced by a judge because new evidence merited a review.

The 1989 murders of Kitty and Jose Menendez in their Beverly Hills mansion have gripped the US for years, recently inspiring a popular Netflix series.

For the brothers to gain their freedom, a judge would have to agree with the recommendation and then a parole board approve their release.

Erik Menendez, 53, and Lyle Menendez, 56, are currently serving life in prison without possibility of parole in California.
