The Menendez brothers may be released from prison by November 28, according to their attorney. They have been incarcerated for 35 years for the murders of their parents, claiming self-defense against abuse. Recent developments include new evidence, including letters from Erik Menendez and an affidavit from a former Menudo member, which could lead to their convictions being overturned. The Los Angeles County District Attorney has recommended a review of their case. If their life sentences are reduced, the brothers could become eligible for parole. They have been described as model prisoners, and their age at the time of the crime may also influence the parole board's decision. A resentencing hearing is scheduled for November 26.
