The two-day proceeding in L.A. ended on its first day with the judge resentencing the brothers who have spent more than three decades behind bars for their parents' 1989 murders.

Lyle and Erik Menendez face a Los Angeles court on Tuesday for a key hearing in their bid to cut short the life prison terms they are serving for the shotgun murders of their parents in their Beverly Hills home 35 years ago.

Erik and Lyle Menendez have had their sentences reduced and are now eligible for parole. Per the BBC, Los Angeles judge Michael Jesic resentenced the brothers on Tuesday to 50 years to life in prison.

The brothers' battle to regain their freedom was back in court Friday, but instead of hearing why D.A. Hochman's bias against them means he needs to go, their lawyer killed the motion for withdrawal.

The Menendez brothers have been resentenced to 50 years to life in prison, opening them up for the possibility of parole after spending more than three decades behind bars for killing their parents decades ago.

A lawyer who worked to get the Menendez brothers a resentencing hearing said the verdict is proof of their rehabilitation work.
