Now eligible for parole, the Menendez brothers could be released next month after spending more than three decades behind bars.

The Menendez brothers face a June hearing that was converted from a clemency to a parole hearing, opening a path to possible freedom after 35 years in prison for their parents' murders.

The move streamlines the potential path to freedom for the brothers who have served more than 35 years in prison since being sentenced for killing their parents with shotguns in 1989.
