The Menendez brothers face a June hearing that was converted from a clemency to a parole hearing, opening a path to possible freedom after 35 years in prison for their parents' murders.
The move streamlines the potential path to freedom for the brothers who have served more than 35 years in prison since being sentenced for killing their parents with shotguns in 1989.
Contrary to the recommendations of the prosecution, Lyle and Erik Menendez are eligible for a new sentence with the possibility of parole
Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty Menendez, the parents of Erik and Lyle Menendez, were shot and killed in their Beverly Hills mansion in August 1989. In July 1996, the Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
After more than three decades behind bars, Lyle and Erik Menendez — convicted in 1996 for the shotgun murders of their parents — have been resentenced to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole.
