(Los Angeles, CA) — The Menendez brothers will remain behind bars until at least late January. Erik and Lyle Menendez made their first court appearance in decades together on Monday, beamed in virtually to a Los Angeles courtroom. The pair were hoping a judge would look over new evidence that they were sexually abused by their father for years, before they shot and killed him and their mother in 1989. Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic postponed their resentencing hearing until the end of January, to give the new L.A prosecutor more time to look over the new evidence in the case.
Members of the extended Menendez family were in the courtroom on Monday to show support for the brothers and ask the judge to free them from prison.
