Erik and Lyle Menendez will attend parole hearings to discuss the murders of their parents 36 years ago. Originally sentenced to life, a judge resentenced them recently, allowing these hearings to happen. Their lawyers argue that the full story of their abuse has never been told. Public perception has shifted since their trial in the 1990s, with more compassion emerging after their story was depicted in popular shows on Netflix. They have gained support from family members and celebrities advocating for their release, emphasizing their transformation during incarceration.
"No court has ever heard the full story in this case, the depth and depravity of the abuse suffered by Lyle and Erik, and their remarkable journal of personal transformation."
"More recently, the brothers have gotten a second, more favorable look from the public after their lives were dramatized in an Emmy-nominated scripted series from Ryan Murphy and a documentary, both on Netflix."
