"Pending clemency applications are confidential and we're not able to discuss individual cases," the governor's office said in a statement. "More information on the process can be found here."
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón recommended a resentencing for the Menendez brothers after new evidence prompted him to reexamine the case. But Gascón seem to support their convictions for murder.
The Menendez brothers never denied killing their parents but insisted they acted in self defense after claiming they suffered years of sexual abuse at the hands of their father, fearing for their lives.
If a judge agrees to resentencing, the case would still require approval from the Board of Parole and Newsom -- a process that could take a year.
