The brothers' attorneys never disputed the pair killed their parents, but argued that they acted out of self-defense.
FILE - This combination of two booking photos provided by the California Department of Corrections shows Erik Menendez, left, and Lyle Menendez. has been set for Dec. 11, when a judge will decide whether they will have a shot at freedom after spending 34 years behind bars for the shotgun killings of their parents in 1989 at their Beverly Hills home.
If the judge approves the resentencing, the brothers will still need a state parole board to grant their release. California Gov. Gavin Newsom then has 150 days to review its decision. However, not everyone in Gascón's office agreed with his decision. One of the brothers' uncles also wants them to remain in prison. Those opposed to resentencing will likely have an opportunity to argue their case in front of the judge.
