Erik and Lyle Menendez’s resentencing hearings can continue, a Los Angeles judge ruled Friday –bringing the brothers a step closer to freedom after 30 years behind bars.

Geragos called the judge's decision "justice" for the Menendez brothers and said today is probably their "biggest day since they've been in custody." 4:25 PM PT -- The judge denied D.A. Nathan Hochman's motion to withdraw the petition for resentencing

Former District Attorney George Gascón asked a judge last year to change the brothers’ sentence from life without the possibility of parole to 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole.
