Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has recommended resentencing after reviewing new evidence related to alleged abuse by their father.
The Netflix series and documentary on the Menendez brothers have reignited public interest and scrutiny of their case.
The brothers' original trial included allegations of severe abuse, but much of this testimony was excluded in their retrial.
Public figures and advocates argue that the Menendez brothers have paid their debt to society and deserve reconsideration of their sentences.
