Lyle and Erik Menendez could end up before a parole board as early as next month after they were granted their first chance at freedom in decades

The Menendez brothers are one step closer to freedom after their June 13 clemency hearing was converted into an initial parole hearing.

The Menendez brothers have been resentenced to 50-years-to-life in prison, opening them up for the possibility of parole after spending more than three decades behind bars for killing their parents in the 1980s.
