DA asks court to deny Menendez brothers' habeas corpus petition to get a new trial or case tossed out.

Two new pieces of evidence are at the center of the petition.

DA Nathan Hochman argues the letter Erik Menendez wrote to his cousin Andy Cano eight months before the murders detailing his alleged abuse from his father.

A former member of the boy band Menudo , Roy Rossello , said he was raped by the brothers' father.

Lyle and Erik Menendez were sentenced to two consecutive life prison terms without the possibility of parole.

The defense claimed the brothers acted in self-defense after enduring years of sexual abuse by their father.

One other path is through resentencing, which Hochman said his office will deal with in the coming weeks .
