Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of killing their parents in 1989 .

The brothers were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

They were sentenced to life without parole for fatally shooting their entertainment executive father, Jose Menendez .

Current Los Angeles district attorney Nathan Hochman has opposed the brothers' resentencing.

Marsy's Law also does not give victims the right to seek the removal of a prosecutor, the motion said. The Menendez brothers are still waiting for the full results of a state parole board risk assessment ordered by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office. The final hearing, scheduled for June 13 , will influence whether Newsom grants the brothers clemency..
