Menendez brothers murder case takes new turn

# After spending more than 30 years behind bars for killing their parents, Lyle and Erik Menendez have a shot at being released from prison. The brothers will appear in court by video link today to discuss the next steps in their case, after the district attorney in Los Angeles agreed to re-examine the case. Members of the Menendez family have issued a public plea for the brothers to be released, alleging they endured horrific sexual abuse at the hands of their father and are not a threat to society.
