Erik and Lyle Menendez’s resentencing hearings can continue, a Los Angeles judge ruled Friday –bringing the brothers a step closer to freedom after 30 years behind bars. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic shot down the new district attorney’s bid to withdraw the resentencing request in a major victory for the pair, who were convicted of murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home in 1989. “Everything you argued today is absolutely fair game for the resentencing hearing next Thursday,” Jesic said.
