Lyle & Erik Menendez HEADED HOME?

Anamaria Baralt got the call from an attorney representing her cousins Lyle and Erik Menendez just minutes before her 6:15 p.m. yoga class on Oct. 23. After 34 years behind bars, the Menendez brothers, who shot and killed their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, might against all odds be coming home soon. "Drop everything. We need you," Baralt, 53, wrote in an email to other members of the family, who, like her, have called for the brothers' immediate release from prison. The next day she jumped on an early morning flight from Seattle to Los Angeles, where District Attorney George Gascón was scheduled to speak about the case at a press conference. "We didn't know what he was going to say until we actually got there," says Baralt. "We just wanted to make sure the world knew just how much support they have."
