Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman recommended Friday that a judge reject Erik and Lyle Menendez’s request for a new trial in the 1989 killings of their parents – a petition the brothers filed over their claims of new evidence of abuse by their father.

The Menendez brothers are serving sentences of life in prison without parole. Last October, amid a flurry of renewed attention to the high-profile case, D.A. George Gascón said he would ask a court to lower their sentences to 50 years to life, which would make them eligible for parole.

The district attorney of Los Angeles says he will update the public Friday on a new sentencing hearing for celebrity brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez.
