Prosecutors in California are reviewing the convictions of the Menendez brothers, who were found guilty in the 1989 killing of their parents, to determine if they should be resentenced and potentially released, officials said Thursday.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said his office is also reviewing possible evidence included in petitions filed by the brothers last year alleging molestation by their father.

Gascon said the allegations are under review and that none of the information has been confirmed. A hearing in the matter is scheduled for Nov. 26.

Prosecutors can evaluate whether an inmate has been rehabilitated based on their actions in prison and determine if they should be resentenced, Gascon said, noting that they could “walk out based on what the court decides.”

That evaluation in the brothers’ case is ongoing, he said, adding: “Until we get there, we’re not sure yet which direction this will go.”
