0:00 / 0:41

A California judge ruled that the resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez will proceed as planned next week. The decision comes despite opposition from the newly elected District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, who argued that the brothers' resentencing lacked sufficient basis. The judge rejected this claim, stating that no new information had been presented. The Menendez brothers, convicted of murdering their parents in 1996, could face new sentences allowing for parole if resentencing is successful. The hearing will include testimony from witnesses who allege the brothers were victims of childhood sexual abuse.
