Brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were sentenced to life in prison for the 1989 murders of their parents in Beverly Hills, are scheduled for a hearing on Thursday that could determine whether they are eligible for reduced sentences and a potential path to parole after more than 30 years behind bars.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were in court Friday morning as prosecutors tried to yank their bid for freedom from the judge, and the body language of the brothers was telling.
