The 1989 murder case, which has gripped the US for decades, burst into life again this autumn when Los Angeles's top prosecutor backed the brothers' bid for resentencing.

The move could allow for their immediate release - if approved by a judge and a parole board.

But their path to freedom will face a few hurdles.

The brothers will appear in court by video link on Monday to discuss next steps in their case.
