Menendez brothers’ parole hearing to begin as duo who killed parents 30 years ago push for prison release: Live

The Menendez brothers will present their cases for parole as they push for their freedom almost 30 years after being convicted of murdering their parents.

A panel of two or three parole hearing officers will evaluate Erik and Lyle Menendez individually. Erik Menendez will have his hearing Thursday morning, followed by Lyle Menendez on Friday, via video conference from prison in San Diego.

The brothers became eligible for parole in May when a Los Angeles judge reduced their sentences from life in prison without the possibility of parole to 50 years to life.

Under California law, they immediately became eligible because they were under 26 when they committed their crimes.
