US EditionMenendez brothers to get their day in court, again, next week
- State parole boards will hold separate hearings for Erik and Lyle Menendez on June 13 at the Van Nuys Courthouse in Los Angeles.
- The hearings follow a re-sentencing effort initiated by former DA George Gascón in 2024, aiming to make the brothers eligible for parole under the youthful offender law.
- The case gained renewed attention after Netflix released a documentary and drama series, leading to increased public interest and supported by new evidence alleging long-term abuse by their father.
- Defense attorneys highlight the brothers' rehabilitation and low risk of re-offending, while current DA Nathan Hochman opposes re-sentencing, claiming they have not accepted responsibility and continue to lie about abuse.
- Following the parole boards’ reports to Governor Gavin Newsom, the decision may allow the brothers to be resentenced with parole eligibility or keep life without parole, indicating ongoing legal uncertainty.
