Menendez brothers are 'cautiously optimistic' they'll be released, lawyer says

LOS ANGELES — NThe attorney for Lyle and Erik Menendez said he thinks the brothers are "cautiously optimistic that they can see some real relief" after the Los Angeles County district attorney announced he's recommending resentencing.

Nearly two dozen of the brothers' relatives have been pushing for their resentencing.

Gascón told ABC News this month that any recommendation for resentencing would take into account the decades the brothers already served and their behavior in prison.
