There's more legal news.
00:02
Could the Menendez brothers go free?
00:04
The two have been behind bars for almost 35 years,
00:07
serving life sentences
00:09
for the brutal killings of their parents.
00:11
The L.A. District Attorney announced for the first time
00:13
that they're reviewing the case.
00:15
The attorney for the Menendez brothers are arguing
00:17
that there are two key pieces of evidence that are new.
00:22
The first is that Eric and Lyle's father
00:24
molested someone else,
00:26
and this was an individual named Roy,
00:28
who was a member of the boy band Menudo,
00:31
who's come forward.
00:32
The other is that one of the brothers wrote a letter
00:35
to their cousin talking about the abuse
00:38
months before the murders happened.
00:41
The fact that the boys were not allowed
00:43
to use their defense of childhood sexual abuse.
00:47
They had so many witnesses,
00:50
and now there's new evidence.
00:52
Stars are showing their support.
00:54
Kim Kardashian, who recently visited the brothers
00:56
in prison, says they are not monsters.
00:59
She wrote an essay for NBC News calling for their freedom,
01:02
adding that while the killings are not excusable,
01:05
we owe it to those little boys who lost their childhoods,
01:08
who never had a chance to be heard, helped, or saved.
01:12
Rosie O'Donnell says she spoke to the brothers
01:14
just before the bombshell announcement.
01:16
They were like afraid to hope,
01:18
and I was like their cheerleader,
01:20
going, come on, boys, this is it.
01:24
The new developments come amid heightened interest
01:26
in the case, thanks in part to Ryan Murphy's
01:28
Monsters, The Lyle and Eric Menendez Story.
01:31
Ryan's take, I think they can be out of prison by Christmas.
01:35
And streaming Monday, a new Netflix doc,
01:37
The Menendez Brothers, featuring phone interviews
01:40
from the men in prison.
01:41
We looked like the perfect family,
01:43
but behind the walls, something very wrong was happening.
01:47
To be those two children at eight years old
01:51
having torturous sex abuse,
01:55
it happens, people.
01:57
We weren't ready to accept that in 1989,
02:00
and now we have to be ready to say,
02:03
hey, we made a mistake.
