Menendez brothers resentencing hearing set to get underway after months of delays: Live - Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing

After months of delays, a hearing is due to start to decide whether Erik and Lyle Menendez should get a chance at freedom after serving nearly 30 years in prison for the double murder of their parents. A Los Angeles judge will preside over the resentencing hearing that is expected to last two days.

Rosie O'Donnell recently visited her friend Lyle Menendez in prison, where she says he treated her to a 'phenomenal' speech about 'making the prison more beautiful' and helped her adopt a dog.

The brothers' uphill battle to regain their freedom returns to court Friday as the court hears why the defense believes DA Nathan Hochman's bias against them means he needs to go.

Attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez will make their case that LA prosecutors should be removed from the resentencing case.

A judge is expected to make a decision on whether the Los Angeles District Attorney should remain on the case and if a parole board's risk assessment should be allowed.
