Erik and Lyle Menendez 's much-anticipated resentencing hearing will be held Tuesday and Wednesday with lawyers set to battle over whether the brothers should get a lesser sentence, clearing the way for a potential release from prison. Defense attorney Mark Geragos, who is pushing for their release, said he plans to call seven witnesses.

The two-day proceeding in L.A. ended its first day with the judge resentencing the brothers imprisoned for over three decades for their parents' 1989 murders.

In April, Hochman moved to withdraw Gascón’s recommendation, arguing that he did not believe the brothers had taken full responsibility for their crimes. This move was then rejected by Judge Jesic, paving the way for this week’s hearings to take place.

After spending more than three decades behind bars, Erik and Lyle are set to have their resentencing hearing inside a Van Nuys courtroom Tuesday morning. The Menendez brothers are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents,
