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.

In a bid for freedom after spending more than 30 years in prison, a resentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers is underway Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. Erik and Lyle Menendez are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for the 1989 killings of their parents,

The hearing will determine whether they should receive a lesser sentence, which could lead to paroled release.
