Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said: Menendez murder case His office is reviewing and identifying two new factors for prosecutors to consider before next month's court hearing.

Gascón said in a news conference on Thursday that there may be a possibility of a re-sentencing or even a new trial. The hearing is scheduled for November 26.

Lyle and Eric Menendez spent nearly 35 years behind bars for fatally shooting their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. At their mansion in Beverly Hills in the evening Dated August 20, 1989. Prosecutors said it was a murder motivated by greed — shortly after their parents' deaths, the brothers allegedly spent money on Rolex watches, cars and real estate investments.

But the Menendez family testified that they killed their parents in self-defense. The brothers told the jury about the alleged sexual abuse they said they suffered at the hands of their father during an emotional, highly publicized first trial – with a separate jury for each.

With the jury divided, the judge declared a mistrial.

The brothers were later convicted of first-degree murder during a second trial in 1995. Prosecutors said the brothers, who were 21 and 18 at the time of the killings, were lying about the alleged abuse.

Gascón said prosecutors are reviewing this potential new evidence as they reconsider the convictions.

Later Thursday, attorney Mark Geragos said in a separate news conference that the new evidence, including Rosselló's declaration, “provides sufficient basis to overturn the outcome of the second trial.”

“I think we have now reached a point where any reasonable person looking at this case believes he should be dismissed,” he said.

The Menendez case has received renewed attention in recent weeks following the release of the Netflix true crime drama series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” A documentary about the case of “The Menendez Brothers” premieres Monday on Netflix.

Gascón said his office received an influx of calls after the Netflix series was released.
