Lyle and Erik Menendez, who have served 35 years of a life prison term for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents in their Beverly Hills home, were ruled eligible for parole by a Los Angeles judge at a re-sentencing hearing on Tuesday.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, after arguing that they acted in self-defense.

The decision could lead to the release of Lyle and Erik Menendez, more than three decades after they were sent to prison for killing their parents.
