A Los Angeles judge resentenced Lyle and Erik Menendez, who have spent over three decades behind bars for the 1989 killing of their parents. They are now eligible for parole — but it's not guaranteed.

The Menendez brothers will face a parole board in June as part of a separate push for clemency from Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Nearly three decades after Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to life in prison for the murders of their parents, a California judge has reopened a door many believed would remain closed.

At Tuesday's resentencing hearing, Lyle and Erik Menendez made a virtual appearance and took "full responsibility" for their roles in the 1989 murders of their parents

A judge's decision to reduce the Menendez brothers' sentence for killing their parents in 1989 enables a parole board to hear their case. Gov. Gavin Newsom could still intervene.

The trials of Lyle and Erik Menendez and their conviction for killing their parents came at a time when televised trials captured national audiences in the 1990s.

Jimmy Kimmel got an audience reaction at the Disney 2025 Upfront after he made a joke comparing Peyton and Eli Manning to the Menendez brothers.

As a court reviewed the Menendez murder case, the culture and politics of the 1990s were scrutinized almost as much as the horrific crime.
