Convicted murderers Erik and Lyle Menendez are set to appear virtually for a court hearing Monday as a decision on whether to grant the brothers clemency remains uncertain.

A Los Angeles judge on Monday delayed the upcoming resentencing hearing of convicted killers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who are seeking their release from a California prison where they are serving life without parole for the shotgun murders of their parents in the family's opulent Beverly Hills home 35 years ago.

A Los Angeles judge delayed a resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez—two brothers who were convicted of killing their parents in the 1990s—from early December until the end of January, meaning the brothers will remain in prison at least through the new year, as the decades-old case draws fresh scrutiny and calls for their release.
