Prosecutors in Los Angeles are reviewing new evidence in the case of the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion more than 35 years ago.

Los Angeles County district attorney George Gascon said during a news conference that lawyers for Erik Menendez, 53, and Lyle Menendez, 56, have asked a court to vacate their conviction.
