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.

Erik and Lyle Menendez 's much-anticipated resentencing hearing will be held Tuesday and Wednesday with lawyers set to battle over whether the brothers should get a lesser sentence, clearing the way for a potential release from prison. Defense attorney Mark Geragos, who is pushing for their release, said he plans to call seven witnesses.
