US EditionParole hearing for Menendez brothers delayed until August
- Erik and Lyle Menendez, aged 54 and 57, face postponed parole hearings now set for August 21 and 22, 2025, in California.
- Their life sentences without parole for killing their parents in 1989 were reduced to 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole.
- The brothers claim they acted after enduring long-term abuse and presented new evidence in 2023, while opponents argue they have lied about their motives.
- Judge Michael Jesic re-sentenced the brothers due to their prison conduct, and the parole board’s recommendation will be reviewed by Governor Gavin Newsom, who has 90 days to decide.
- The postponement delays parole consideration for more than two months, and Newsom could reject clemency or parole despite the new eligibility.
