Defense attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez are hoping to win a reduced sentence for the brothers, possibly allowing them to either be released immediately or at least be eligible for parole consideration.

A long-awaited resentencing hearing on Tuesday is set to determine whether two brothers who killed their wealthy parents in their Beverly Hills mansion could be freed from prison after three decades.

After seven months of hearings, court filings and press conferences, Lyle and Erik Menendez face the possibility of freedom as a two-day resentencing hearing commences Tuesday, three decades after they were convicted for the 1989 murders of their parents.
