Erik and Lyle Menendez are two brothers from Los Angeles. Many years ago, they killed their mother and father. They went to prison for life. Now, a judge changed their sentence. The brothers can ask for parole soon. This means they might leave prison one day.

In court, Erik and Lyle said sorry for what they did. They talked about their feelings and how they want to help other people if they go free. Their family and friends also spoke in court. They said the brothers are different now and want them to have a second chance.

The next step is a meeting with the parole board. The board will decide if the brothers can leave prison. The governor is also looking at their case. The family is happy about the new chance, but some people still do not agree. The final decision will come later.
