In April, Hochman moved to withdraw Gascón’s recommendation, arguing that he did not believe the brothers had taken full responsibility for their crimes. This move was then rejected by Judge Jesic, paving the way for this week’s hearings to take place.

Lyle and Erik Menendez could be eligible to walk free after more than 30 years in prison for the vicious 1989 shotgun slayings of their parents — and they might even be released as early as the coming weeks.

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

The Menendez brothers will face a parole board in June as part of a separate push for clemency from Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

As Lyle and Erik Menendez continue to push for freedom, a Los Angeles judge will decide whether to include a report, which evaluates how much danger the brothers may pose to the public, in court hearings set for next week.
