Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman on Monday said Lyle and Erik Menendez must fully acknowledge lies they told about the shotgun murder of their parents 35 years ago before he would support their release from prison.

"The district attorney’s office, if it is presented with these new insights — unequivocal, sincere acknowledgments of all the lies they have told for the past over 30-years — will reconsider whether or not we would want to go forward with a resentencing motion," Hochman said during a press conference.

The Menendez brothers were convicted in 1996 of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for shooting their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home on Aug. 20, 1989. The case captivated the U.S. in the 1990s because of the brothers’ wealth and privilege as sons of a record company and entertainment industry executive. Lyle was 21 years old and Erik was 18 at the time of the murders. They are now 57 and 54.

A recent Netflix documentary series raised new evidence to support their claims they were sexually abused by their parents, which led the previous district attorney, George Gascon, to advocate resentencing them to a lesser crime and releasing them.
