A Los Angeles judge ruled that the resentencing hearings for Erik and Lyle Menendez will proceed, despite the new district attorney's opposition. The brothers, convicted in 1989 of murdering their parents, were initially sentenced to life without parole. Former DA George Gascón sought resentencing to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole. However, newly elected DA Nathan Hochman opposes this, citing the brothers' lack of full acceptance of responsibility for the crime. Hearings are set for April 17th and 18th.
