Menendez Brothers’ Family ‘Grateful’ to Gavin Newsom for Seeking Risk Assessment Ahead of Clemency Decision


The Menendez family thanked Gov. Gavin Newsom for seeking a risk assessment ahead of his decision on whether to offer clemency to the brothers.

In recent months, their relatives have stepped up efforts to secure their release, arguing their brains were affected by years of childhood sexual abuse, and that their good works in prison show they have been rehabilitated. Hochman cast doubt on that evidence in lengthy presentation, as well as in a companion video and an 87-page “ informal response.” He argued that the claims are part of a “continuum of lies” that the brothers have told since the night of the murders. Newsom discussed the Menendez case on “Politickin’,” his other iHeart podcast, which he co-hosts with retired Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch and sports agent Doug Hendrickson.
