Family members of the Menendez brothers are slated to hold a press conference as California Governor Gavin Newsom initiates a risk assessment regarding their potential release from prison. The Governor emphasizes public safety, taking into account the brothers' self-development and rehabilitation. Newsom acknowledges that there are no guarantees in the clemency process, highlighting its role in ensuring transparency. The announcement coincides with the launch of his new podcast, prompting some speculation about its timing. An attorney for the brothers expresses cautious optimism about the developments.
The Governor's primary consideration when evaluating commutation applications is public safety, which includes the applicant's current risk level and the impact of a commutation on victims and survivors.
There's no guarantee of outcome here. My office conducts dozens and dozens of these clemency reviews on a consistent basis...provides more transparency, which I think is important in this case.
