Menendez brothers Monday court hearing: What to know | LiveNOW from FOX

The Menendez brothers' case reaches an important milestone on Monday.

That's when the attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez will ask a judge to reconsider the convictions of the brothers, who are serving life sentences without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in Beverly Hills.

The Menendez brothers are expected to attend the hearing virtually from San Diego where they are incarcerated.

The highly-anticipated court hearing will allow limited public attendance, with just 16 courtroom seats available through a lottery. The lottery will be held outside the Van Nuys courthouse Monday morning.

Monday’s status hearing is expected to confirm details for the resentencing hearing scheduled for December 11.

This comes after California Gov. Gavin Newsom declined to grant the brothers clemency, which was being considered as one route to the pair's freedom. Newsom deferred the review of the case to newly-elected DA Nathan Hochman, who is being sworn in on Dec. 2.

Defense attorney Mark Geragos says he will ask the judge during the hearing to re-sentence the Menendez brothers on the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, a crime for which they have already served three times the maximum sentence.
