The brothers are currently serving life in prison without the possibility of parole in California.

The Los Angeles County district attorney formally recommended their resentencing in a court filing on Friday, arguing for a lesser sentence for the pair. If approved, the request would make the brothers eligible for parole.

While it is a significant development in a case that has gripped the nation, it is one step on what could be a long road.

And not everyone is happy at the prospect of them potentially regaining their freedom.
