crime about money and not abuse. family members have been mostly united pleading for their freedom. >> this step gives us all hope that the truth will finally be heard and that lisle and eric can begin to heal from the trauma of their past. >> reporter: and at least one family member is against their release. the attorney for the brothers say they could be home before thanksgiving, though legal experts we've spoken with say that's unlikely. so what's next? the case will be handed over to a judge who will hold a hearing in about four weeks. jonathan vigliotti, bs news, los angeles. a 15-year-old boy is set to be arraigned today on charges of murdering his parents, three siblings and attempting to murder his sister at their home east of seattle. according to court documents the boy called 911 monday saying he was hiding in the bathroom and claiming his 13-year-old brother shot and killed everyone and then committed suicide, but around the same time a neighbor called 911 to say a younger sister who had been shot and injured ran to their home to report that it was actually her
