Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without parole for murdering their parents.

The brothers were 18 and 21 at the time of the killings in 1989 .

If the judge shortens their sentences, the brothers would still need approval from the state’s parole board to get out of prison.

They could then potentially go free on time served.
