New court hearing scheduled for the Menendez brothers, who are in San Diego prison

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — After almost 30 years, a new court hearing has been set for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are both behind bars at San Diego’s Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.

The brothers were sentenced to life in prison for murdering their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home back in 1989.

Their case has regained public interest recently after the release of the Netflix series “ Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story ,” which details the events leading up to the crime.

Their first trial ended in a hung jury in 1993. Then, the brothers were retried in 1995; however, most of the sexual abuse claims were ruled inadmissible by the judge, meaning the jury never heard about them.

Nearly three decades later, the Menendez brothers are now scheduled for a court hearing on Nov. 29.

They do have proof, an aunt was going through documents and found a letter that one of the boys had written 9 months before the parents were killed, describing in detail what he was going through.

Just remember one thing before they murdered their parents. The Menendez brothers never alerted school counselor, never complaint to local law enforcement, never disclosed any molestation to other family and friends, and instead of buying two brand new shotguns they should have purchased at the time VHS camcorder and had it secretly installed inside the mansion from the father's & mother's alleged sexual abuse. My honest opinion they should be sent to death already.
