As the notorious killer brothers Eric and Lile Mendendez waited for their August parole hearing, they won a legal victory on another front, this time as new evidence they say that they could cause their acquitted.
The pair, who accepted their parents, to kill Mary “Kitty” and Jose Menandage, in 1989 in a bloody shotgun massacre inside their Beverly Hills house, claimed for years that their work was self-defense of physical and sexual abuse throughout his life.
On July 8, received by Fox News Digital, the court order will force the state to explain why the evidence of that effect was stopped from their testing.

Menandez Brothers Desantensing: The deadline for the battles on freedom in the killings of parents
About eight months before double-homoids, Eric Allegedly written a letter His cousin, Andy Cano claimed that Jose had sexually abused him and Lile.
In addition, an affidavit of Roy Rosello, a member of a boy band, claimed by a member named Menudo, was raped by a record executive, when he was a 14 -year -old boy in 1983 or 1984. Rosello claimed about 40 years after the alleged rape.
In March 2023, the brothers filed a captive petition, claiming that if they were allowed to be used as evidence, and if Rosello was claimed earlier and presented in their second trial, a jury would not have convicted them.

Menandez Brothers annoyed experts as ‘uncertain’ bids for the freedom of killers
In an informal response to the petition filed by the office of District Attorney Nathan Hochan’s office in Los Angeles County in February this year, prosecutors denied that letters and affidavits set up new evidence. He said that the cano paper was “untimely”. He also said that the Rosello affidavit was “unknown, abstract, and lack of credibility.”
But Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge William C. The July 8 order handed over by Ryan said that there is a prima facie in the letter and affidavit, showing that the brothers are entitled to the closure relief.
District Attorney’s office is now subject to the “show causal” response over the next 30 days. In his response, Hochman’s office should explain why the closure of brothers should not be given relief.
