US EditionMenendez brothers’ June hearing converted from clemency to parole as decision looms for Gov. Newsom
- On May 13, 2025, the Los Angeles Superior Court reduced the Menendez brothers' sentences from life imprisonment without parole to terms of 50 years to life, thereby allowing them to become eligible for parole review at a hearing scheduled for June 13 under California’s youthful offender provisions.
- The resentencing responded to California's youthful offender law since the brothers committed the 1989 Beverly Hills shotgun murders of their parents before age 26.
- The state parole board will now hold an initial parole suitability hearing instead of clemency, after Gov. Gavin Newsom withdrew his clemency investigation request due to the sentence change.
- Defense attorney Mark Geragos described the resentencing as progress toward the brothers' eventual release, while Menendez accepted full accountability for his offenses, acknowledging their serious and harmful nature.
- If the board recommends parole, Governor Newsom will have 90 days to decide, with political and legal considerations potentially influencing whether the brothers are released.
