Judge Delays a Resentencing Hearing for the Menendez Brothers
Briefly

Erik and Lyle Menendez won't see immediate freedom, as their resentencing hearing has been postponed by a Los Angeles judge. The court is waiting to determine the admissibility of a risk assessment report that Governor Gavin Newsom ordered, which is pivotal to the hearing's outcome. The brothers, convicted of killing their parents over 30 years ago, may receive a lesser sentence that could lead to their release. The next procedural hearing is set for May 9, 2023, possibly closed to the public, as legal considerations continue to unfold.
