The notorious killer Menandez Brothers, who brutally killed his parents with a gun inside his Beverly Hills house over 35 years ago, is a completely new route to freedom after a judge’s order last week.
Brian Vice is a post-convision attorney in Houston, which states the brothers won a new victory that is completely different from his current dialect for parole.
“If the captive relief is given, it is not an displeasure,” Vice told Fox News Digital. “This is a completely new test.”

Menandage Brothers won significant legal victory in the decades long battle as they wait for potential freedom
He said, “My understanding is that the relief he has done is a completely new test, as they claim that this new discovery was made with newly available evidence that there is a reasonable possibility, and this is a test – not a certainty – not a certainty – a reasonable probability result would have been different,” he said.
Eric and Lile Menandez were convicted and a bloody shotgun massacre was sentenced to life without parole, who left his parents, Jose and Mary “Kitty” Menandez. Jose was shot six times and Kitty 10 was shot.
He has spent more than 35 years of prison for the murderers in the case that fascinates the world.
In March 2023, the brothers filed a captive petition, claiming that the evidence was forbidden to be presented in his test. This evidence, they say, would have led a jury to not be guilty.

Menandez Brothers annoyed experts as ‘uncertain’ bids for the freedom of killers
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, who was a record executive, raped her, when he was a 14 -year -old boy in 1983 or 1984. Rosello claimed about 40 years after the alleged rape.
If that information was available for a jury, the brothers claim, they are not convicted. They also believe that letters and affidavits form new evidence that should be considered.
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.”

Nevertheless, on 8 July, Los Angeles County’s Superior Court Judge William C. Ryan said that the letter and affidavit formed a prima facie, showing that the brothers are entitled to relief, and ordered the Hochman’s office to respond to the claim and explain why the brothers should not be relieved.

Vice stressed that this is not an easy way for brothers, and that a new test is light at the end of a long tunnel.
“Essentially, this is your last gap, all hands on the deck, let’s see what we can do to make a miracle, a kind of reference,” he said.
If the decision will be reviewed by the California Court of Appeals, if the trial judge will be reviewed, while vacating his sentence, to provide a captive petition in favor of the brothers, and after that, the California Supreme Court, Vice said. Any of those institutions can say that the trial judge erased in his decision, and denied the opportunity of the brothers for a new test.
“They are in winning positions, and as I said, in the context of the prisoner, it is alive and in advance,” Vice said using a basketball analogy. “They survive and move forward in the second round. Are they going to cut? Who knows?”
