Erik and Lyle Menendez could learn this week whether they'll get reduced sentences — and the chance for freedom — nearly 30 years after they were convicted of murdering their parents.
A Los Angeles judge will preside over the resentencing hearing expected to last two days starting Thursday. The judge could make a verbal decision during the hearing or rule later with a written decision. If he shortens their sentences, the brothers would still need approval from the state's parole board to get out of prison.
