Want to see the Menendez brothers' hearing? You'll have to enter the lottery
Briefly

The Los Angeles Superior Court is implementing a lottery system for the public to attend a hearing where Eric and Lyle Menendez seek to downgrade their murder convictions.
With only 16 public seats available, the court will distribute lottery tickets outside the Van Nuys Courthouse West for those eager to witness the hearing.
This case has recently seen renewed interest due to a Netflix documentary and a dramatized show, prompting a larger crowd eager to attend the hearing.
Such lottery systems have been used in other high-profile cases, including the O.J. Simpson trial and the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial.
