The Menendez brothers got a major win in their fight for freedom. But it's not over yet.

A judge’s ruling to resentence Erik and Lyle Menendez last week gave the siblings something they’ve not had in more than three decades: a chance that they could leave the Southern California prison where they’re incarcerated.

A judge’s ruling to resentence Erik and Lyle Menendez last week gave the siblings something they’ve not had in more than three decades: a chance that they could leave the Southern California prison where they’re incarcerated.

The brothers, who had been serving life sentences without the possibility of parole after a pair of sensational trials ended with convictions for their parents’ 1989 murder, can seek their release from California’s parole board after Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic found they do not pose an “unreasonable risk” if released from prison.

Jesic resentenced the siblings to 50 years to life, endorsing the recommendation of former Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon and denying the position of his successor, Nathan Hochman, who opposed their resentencing.

Here’s what could happen next in the case, which highlighted a debate over a key issue in the criminal justice system — rehabilitation — and gained renewed attention after a Netflix miniseries and documentary about their lives.

Jesic’s ruling allows Erik, 54, and Lyle, 57, to make their case for freedom at a hearing aimed at determining whether they’re suitable for parole. Those proceedings are scheduled for June 13 — a date previously set aside for hearings in a separate effort seeking clemency from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to a spokesperson for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, which oversees the parole system.
