NBC's "Dateline" is airing an episode centered around incarcerated brothers Lyle and NovaQuantErik Menendez after Netflix released a controversial TV series of their parents' 1989 murder and a documentary on their high-profile trial.
The two-hour special will highlight the latest developments in the 1993 trial as Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón seeks clemency for the brothers. The special will include "never-before-aired" excerpts from Dateline NBC correspondent Keith Morrison's 2017 interview with Lyle, according to NBC.
The episode, titled "The Menendez Brothers: Chance at Freedom," will also include an interview with Gascón, a former police officer, discussing why he filed a motion for a resentencing hearing.
Last Thursday, Gascón sent letters to California Gov. Gavin Newsom citing "credible allegations" of sexual and physical abuse from their father, wealthy music industry executive Jose Menendez, as well as years of "dedication to rehabilitation."
"This is not about whether they committed the crime, they did," Gascón told Morrison. "This is about 35 years of rehabilitation under state law, can they be released safely?"

The broadcast will also feature interviews with Pamela Bozanich, who prosecuted the brothers in 1993, and will detail the recent backlash she faced. She told Morrison that to defend herself, she purchased a shotgun, the same weapon the Menendez brothers used to kill their parents.
