41:42Now PlayingMore than a dozen relatives of brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez called for their release from prison during a press conference on Wednesday in Los Angeles. They are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for killing their parents, Jose Menendez and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills mansion 35 years ago. The press conference was the largest gathering of the extended family since the brothers' 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.
Lyle Menendez , who was then 21, and Erik Menendez, then 18, admitted they fatally shot-gunned their entertainment executive father and their mother in 1989 but said they feared their parents were about to kill them to prevent them from disclosing their father's long-term sexual molestation of Erik.
