Overview

• Judge Michael Jesic has scheduled a two-day hearing for May 13–14, 2025, to reconsider the Menendez brothers' sentences after decades in prison.
• The brothers were convicted in 1996 of murdering their parents in 1989, with claims of long-term abuse largely excluded from their second trial.
• New Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman opposes resentencing efforts initiated by his predecessor, George Gascón, but his motion to halt the process was denied.
• Public interest in the case has surged recently due to Netflix productions and advocacy from the Menendez family and supporters.
• If the court rules in favor of resentencing, the brothers could become eligible for parole, with a parole board hearing already scheduled for June.
