Erik and Lyle Menendez, who have spent more than 30 years in prison for the 1989 murders of their parents, are making their case for parole this week.
The brothers will appear separately before the state parole board in California.
In 1996, the pair was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the shooting deaths of Kitty and Jose Menendez.
In May, a judge reduced their sentence to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole. Erik will have his hearing on Thursday and Lyle on Friday.
Video from the pair’s first trial in 1993, which resulted in a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury, shows the brothers becoming emotional when discussing the murders and years of alleged abuse by their parents.
