Family members of the Menendez brothers pushing for their release criticized the Los Angeles County district attorney's opposition to a new trial Thursday while saying they're "incredibly grateful" Gov.

Cousins of Erik and Lyle Menendez spoke out to criticize the Los Angeles district attorney’s recent decision to oppose a new trial for Lyle and Erik Menendez, who have spent nearly 30 years in prison for the 1989 killing of their parents.

Relatives of Lyle and Erik Menendez are "thrilled" and "hopeful" after California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the state parole board to investigate whether the brothers would pose a risk to the public if they are released after nearly three decades in prison for the 1989 killing of their parents.
