A Southern California judge on Friday paved the way for a re-sentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez in the murder of their parents in 1989. The brothers have spent 31 years in prison for the murders of their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez. Lyle Menendez was 18 and Erik 21 when they committed the crime on Aug. 20th, 1989. They were arrested on March 8th, 1990, and sentenced on Jan. 13th, 1994, to life without parole in a second trial. There was a mistrial because a jury couldn’t reach a unanimous decision. |
