Menendez Brothers Resentencing Now Off Until Next Month As Lawyers & Judge Look Over Parole Board Report Ordered By Gavin Newsom
The Menendez brothers will still get their day in court, but they'll have to wait until next month for resentenced or not for the 1989 shotgun murder of their parents.
However, after some fireworks between Nathan Hochman’s office and defense attorneys in and outside the Van Nuys courthouse, the LA Superior Court judge has pushed back any resentencing hearing until May 9. Weighing a potential clemency for the 1996 life without parole sentenced Erik and Lyle Menendez, Newsom in late February ordered the assessment as part of an overall reexamination of the case and the siblings’ rehabilitation. Elected in a landslide last year against George Gascón, who started the resentencing process the current DA is seeking to blunt, Hochman today reiterated his contention that the brothers have after all these decades not “come clean with ..information” on “why they brutally killed their parents.”
