What are the immediate consequences of the Menendez brothers' resentencing, and what impact does it have on the justice system?

Los Angeles judge resentenced Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were serving life sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents, to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole. The brothers, who admitted to the killings but claimed self-defense due to years of abuse, will now face a parole board. Prosecutors argued the killings were premeditated to gain access to their parents' wealth.
