Erik and Lyle Menendez will have a shot at freedom for the first time in decades after being convicted of their parents’ murder 30 years ago.

Nearly three decades after Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to life in prison for the murders of their parents, a California judge has reopened a door many believed would remain closed.

At Tuesday's resentencing hearing, Lyle and Erik Menendez made a virtual appearance and took "full responsibility" for their roles in the 1989 murders of their parents

The trials of Lyle and Erik Menendez and their conviction for killing their parents came at a time when televised trials captured national audiences in the 1990s.

As a court reviewed the Menendez murder case, the culture and politics of the 1990s were scrutinized almost as much as the horrific crime.

Jimmy Kimmel got an audience reaction at the Disney 2025 Upfront after he made a joke comparing Peyton and Eli Manning to the Menendez brothers.
