Menendez Brothers Parole Hearing: A Judge's Decision and a Nation's Reaction

The Menendez brothers, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, are now eligible for parole following a judge's decision to reduce their sentences. The case, which gained renewed attention after the release of the Netflix documentary "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," has sparked intense public interest. "I had to stop being selfish and immature to really understand what my parents went through in those last moments," Erik Menendez, 54, told the court, expressing remorse. The District Attorney opposed the sentence reduction, arguing the brothers, who claimed self-defense after years of alleged abuse, haven't been rehabilitated. The state parole board will make a decision on their potential release next month.
