The Menendez brothers were given life sentences for gunning down their own parents. Now they’re hoping new evidence could reopen the case. "48 Hours" contributor Natalie Morales reports. | CASE UPDATE: In May 2025, Lyle and Erik Menendez were resentenced to 50 years to life with the possibility of parole. Due to that resentencing, they are now eligible for parole hearings under youth offender parole laws. In August 2025, the brothers’ first bids for parole were denied. In September 2025, a judge rejected the brothers' habeas petition for a new trial. Air Date: Mar 2, 2024
