More than a dozen family members of Erik and Lyle Menendez on Wednesday called for the release of the brothers from prison after the killings of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion 35 years ago.The news conference in downtown Los Angeles was the largest gathering of the extended family since the brothers맥스카지노� 1996 sentencing. The public call for their release comes less than two weeks after the Los Angeles County district attorney announced his office would be reviewing new evidence to determine whether the brothers should be serving life sentences.The brothers are currently serving life sentences in state prison without the possibility of parole.Lyle Menendez, who was then 21, and Erik Menendez, then 18, admitted they fatally shot-gunned their entertainment executive father, Jose Menendez, and their mother, Kitty Menendez, in 1989 but said they feared their parents were about to kill them to prevent the disclosure of the father맥스카지노�s long-term sexual molestation of Erik.Prosecutors at the time contended there was no evidence of any molestation. They said the sons were after their parents맥스카지노� multimillion-dollar estate.While the group of relatives called for the brothers' release, Kitty Menendez맥스카지노�s brother, Milton Andersen 맥스카지노� who is 90-years-old 맥스카지노� said through an attorney that he believes 맥스카지노�the appropriate sentence맥스카지노� is life in prison without possibility of parole. Andersen was not available for an interview.맥스카지노�He believes that there was no molestation that occurred. He believes that the motive was pure greed, because they had just learned that they were going to be taken out of the will,맥스카지노� said Kathy Cady, Andersen맥스카지노�s attorney.The extended family맥스카지노�s attorney Bryan Freedman previously said they strongly support the brothers맥스카지노� release.맥스카지노�She wishes nothing more than for them to be released,맥스카지노� Freedman said earlier this month of Joan VanderMolen, Kitty Menendez맥스카지노�s sister and the brothers맥스카지노� aunt.District Attorney George Gascón has said there is no question the brothers committed the 1989 murders, but after his office looks at the new evidence, prosecutors will make a decision on whether a resentencing is warranted in the notorious case that captured national attention.The evidence includes a letter written by Erik Menendez that his attorneys say corroborates the allegations that he was sexually abused by his father. A hearing was scheduled for Nov. 29.The brothers맥스카지노� attorneys said the family believed from the beginning they should have been charged with manslaughter rather than murder. Manslaughter was not an option for the jury during the second trial that ultimately led to the brothers맥스카지노� murder conviction, attorney Mark Geragos previously said.The case has gained new traction in recent weeks after Netflix began streaming the true-crime drama 맥스카지노� Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. 맥스카지노�But the brothers have said they killed their parents out of self-defense after enduring a lifetime of physical, emotional and sexual abuse from them. Their attorneys argue that because of society맥스카지노�s changing views on sexual abuse, that the brothers may not have been convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole today.Jurors in 1996 rejected a death sentence in favor of life without parole.맥스카지노�⿒�This story has been corrected to show Kitty Menendez맥스카지노�s brother맥스카지노�s name is Milton Andersen, not Milton Anderson.
