A Los Angeles judge resentenced Lyle and Erik Menendez to life with the possibility of parole, which could lead to their freedom after decades in prison.

Due to changes in California law, the Menendez brothers, who are now in their 50s, are eligible to apply for parole

The two-day proceeding in L.A. ended its first day with the judge resentencing the brothers imprisoned for over three decades for their parents' 1989 murders.

The Menendez Brothers’ sentence was reduced from life without parole to 50 years to life, making both Erik and Lyle Menendez eligible for parole consideration. According to Deadline, the decision came from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic,

After a number of delays, blocks and legal hurdles, The Menendez Brothers will finally have their resentencing hearing next week. The resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez to determine their eligibility for release after more than three decades behind bars will take place on May 13 and 14 according to Judge Michael V.

The brothers' uphill battle to regain their freedom returns to court Friday as the court hears why the defense believes DA Nathan Hochman's bias against them means he needs to go.

Attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez Friday withdrew their motion asking that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office be removed from the brothers' case, saying they want to expeditiously move forward with their bid to have the pair re-sentenced and possibly be released from prison.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has filed a formal opposition to the motion by Erik and Lyle Menendez seeking to recuse his office from their pending resentencing proceedings.
