During the brothers’ trials, much of the abuse evidence was deemed inadmissible, and the pair, then 21 and 18, were sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1996.
Now, the Los Angeles County district attorney has recommended they be re-sentenced and made immediately eligible for parole.
“Because of their age under the law, since they were under 26 years of age at the time that these crimes occurred, they will be eligible for parole immediately,” George Gascón told a press conference on Thursday.
The final decision will be made by a judge, who will rule on whether to accept the district attorney’s recommendation.
Mr Gascón said he believed the brothers’ claims that they were molested by their father, José, while their mother Kitty turned a blind eye.
“Our own implicit and sometimes explicit bias around sexual abuse and sexual assault often leads us to severe injustices,” he said.
