2:34:06Now PlayingThe Menendez brothers could have a chance at getting out of prison, where they have spent more than three decades for the gruesome murders of their parents, after a resentencing hearing scheduled for April 17 and 18.
Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. They were convicted in 1996 after unsuccessfully arguing that they acted in self-defense after suffering through years of physical and sexual abuse. They are serving life in prison without the possibility of parole, but a wave of public attention and support has fueled multiple efforts at obtaining a pathway to release from prison.
The resentencing hearing comes after a drawn-out legal back-and-forth between opposing Los Angeles County district attorneys. After an hourslong hearing on April 11, Judge Michael Jesic ruled the resentencing could move forward despite fierce opposition by top prosecutor Nathan Hochman, who hoped to withdraw the resentencing petition supported by his predecessor George Gascón last year.
