Summary
After 35 years of incarceration, Erik and Lyle Menendez are scheduled for a resentencing hearing on May 13-14, giving them a chance at parole. Despite their rehabilitation efforts and family support, current DA Nathan Hochman opposes the plea, citing recent rule violations and a critical risk assessment report. The brothers’ fate will ultimately depend on the court's ruling and the state's parole board's decision for potential clemency from Governor Newsom.
