Menendez brothers now eligible for parole: What happens next?
A judge in Los Angeles on Tuesday reduced the murder sentences of Erik and Lyle Menendez, making them instantly eligible for parole. The brothers addressed the judge on a remote video feed where they openly acknowledged they shot and killed their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989 and apologized for covering it up. "I am deeply ashamed of who I was," Lyle says. "I am truly sorry," added Erik. NBC’s Laura Jarrett reports for TODAY.
