NBC’s “Dateline” airs an episode centering on incarcerated brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez after Netflix released a controversial TV series about their parents’ 1989 murders and a documentary about 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 mercy 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,” also features an interview with Gascón, a former police officer, discussing why he filed a motion for a sentencing hearing.

Last Thursday, Gascón sent letters to California Governor Gavin Newsom citing “credible allegations” of sexual and physical abuse by their father, wealthy music industry executive Jose Menendez, as well as years of “dedication to rehabilitation.”

“It’s 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 bought a shotgun, the same gun the Menendez brothers used to kill their parents.

Here’s what you need to know about the two-hour special.
