Erik and Lyle Menendez have spent most of their lives in prison. Their attorneys say they have spent that time getting fully rehabilitated and deserve a shot at freedom through resentencing.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were 19 and 22 years old when they were arrested on murder charges in the killings of their parents. If released from prison three decades later, they would reintegrate into society as men in their 50s who have spent the majority of their adult lives incarcerated.

L.A. District Attorney Nathan Hochman was dealt a blow after his motion that his predecessor's request for the brothers' resentencing after 35 years was roundly rejected by a Superior Court judge.
