Attorneys for convicted killers Erik and Lyle Menendez have filed a petition seeking their release from prison, citing newly discovered evidence that supports their claims of sexual abuse by their father.The Menendez brothers are serving life sentences without the possibility of parole after being convicted of first-degree murder for fatally shooting their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez in 1989 in their Beverly Hills mansion.At trial, they admitted to the shooting, but claimed the killings followed years of sexual abuse and sought a lesser charge of manslaughter, which the trial judge did not allow the jury to consider.
