California Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated a comprehensive risk assessment by the state's parole board to evaluate whether Lyle and Erik Menendez pose a public safety risk after spending nearly 30 years in prison for their parents' murder. While this action does not guarantee sentence commutation, it reflects the Governor's commitment to fair assessment of rehabilitation efforts. The parole board is expected to complete its assessment within 90 days, followed by a hearing involving victim family members and prosecutors, ensuring transparency in the decision-making process.
Newsom said he wants the parole board to finish the risk assessment within 90 days, emphasizing the need for ensuring transparency in the parole process.
The defense attorneys expressed gratitude for Newsom's decision, highlighting that it does not guarantee commutation, but shows a commitment to fair consideration of the brothers' rehabilitation.
