L.A. DA Wants Menendez Brothers’ Resentencing Delayed Again Now That Gavin Newsom Has Pivotal Parole Board Report


After various delays, the resentencing hearing for Erik & Lyle Menendez set for this week just hit a possible pothole thanks to the LA DA

Pushed back several times due to an incumbent being tossed out of office, wildfires and more, the resentencing hearing that could see the life without parole punishment the brothers received in the 1990s for the brutal 1989 shotgun murder of their parents overturned was most recently on the calendar for April 17-18. “On April 15, 2025, the People were made aware that the Parole Board has completed its Comprehensive Risk Assessment Reports for Erik and Lyle Menendez,” the filing Wednesday from the DA’s office declares. That motion as well as any notion of a fast-tracked clemency from the media savvy Newsom, hit the brakes late last year with Hochman’s election as the new DA sought time to settle in and read through the files himself.
