The hearing to to decide whether Erik and Lyle Menendez should get a chance at freedom after serving nearly 30 years in prison will start on Tuesday after months of delays. The pair were sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for the double murder of their parents.
The resentencing hearing is expected to last two days and will be presided over by a Los Angeles judge. If he shortens their sentences, the brothers would still need approval from the state’s parole board to get out of prison. They could then potentially go free on time served.
