The two-day proceeding in L.A. ended on its first day with the judge resentencing the brothers who have spent more than three decades behind bars for their parents' 1989 murders.

A judge's decision to reduce the Menendez brothers' sentence for killing their parents in 1989 enables a parole board to hear their case. Gov. Gavin Newsom could still intervene.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman talked about the "L" he took in court during a public meeting just hours after convicted double murderers Erik and Lyle Menendez inched closer to freedom with their big legal victory Tuesday.

The Menendez brothers have been resentenced to 50 years to life in prison, opening them up for the possibility of parole after spending more than three decades behind bars for killing their parents decades ago.

What once seemed improbable—a release from prison—is now a real possibility for convicted killers Lyle Menendez and Erik Menendez. On Tuesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic resentenced the siblings who fatally shot their parents in 1989.
