Prosecutors will announce their recommendation on whether Erik and Lyle Menendez should be resentenced for the 1989 murders of their parents. A news conference is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. The Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1996. If prosecutors recommend resentencing, they will need court approval. The brothers admitted to the killings but claimed they acted out of fear of their parents. Their extended family has advocated for their release after decades in prison.
