Jordan Moreau A new court hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez has been set for November 29, more than 28 years after they were convicted of murdering their parents and two weeks after their story was dramatized in the popular Netflix series “Monsters.” Erik and Lyle were sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for murdering their father and mother, Jose and Kitty Menendez, at their Beverly Hills mansion on August 20, 1989.
The brothers were originally tried separately, but the juries were deadlocked and resulted in mistrials. When they were tried together, they were convincted and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

In 1998 and and 1999, the California Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of California upheld Erik and Lyle’s convictions and declined to review the case.
