Overview

• The Menendez brothers, convicted of their parents' 1989 murders, are seeking resentencing that could allow for parole eligibility after 35 years in prison.
• Former DA George Gascón supported resentencing, citing the brothers' rehabilitation, while current DA Nathan Hochman opposes it, arguing they have not fully accepted responsibility.
• The court will determine whether prosecutors can withdraw the resentencing motion and whether hearings scheduled for April 17–18 will move forward.
• The brothers also pursue clemency from Governor Gavin Newsom and a habeas corpus petition, presenting new evidence of alleged abuse by their father.
• Family members, including their 85-year-old aunt Terry Baralt, have publicly advocated for their release, emphasizing their remorse and rehabilitation efforts.
