The family of Erik and Lyle Menendez will meet with the Los Angeles County district attorney on Friday in a continued push for a reduced sentence for the brothers, who are serving life without parole for the heavily publicized 1989 murders of their parents. Erik and Lyle were sentenced in 1996, after two trials, for the shooting deaths of Jose and Kitty Menendez at the family’s Beverly Hills home on Aug. 20, 1989. The trials of the Menendez brothers became media sensations and were broadcast live across the country. The coalition said they hope the meeting with Hochman can provide "an open and fair discussion." "We hope that this meeting will put us a step closer to spending next Christmas reunited as a family."
