A judge's decision to reduce the Menendez brothers' sentence for killing their parents in 1989 enables a parole board to hear their case. Gov. Gavin Newsom could still intervene.

Now eligible for parole, the Menendez brothers could be released next month after spending more than three decades behind bars.

The killings of the entertainment executive and his wife in their wealthy Beverly Hills neighborhood were brutal. Their son Lyle Menendez was the one who called 911, with the brothers initially claiming the killing was Mafia-related or connected to their father’s business dealings.
