Overview

• The April 17-18 resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez has been rescheduled for May 9 due to unresolved procedural disputes.
• Key issues include the admissibility of a risk assessment report ordered by Governor Gavin Newsom and a motion to recuse DA Nathan Hochman over alleged bias.
• The brothers' defense argues for reduced sentences based on rehabilitation efforts and claims of abuse by their father, while prosecutors maintain the murders were financially motivated.
• If resentenced, the brothers' eligibility for parole would still require approval from the state parole board, with a hearing set for June 13, and potential clemency by Governor Newsom.
• The case has drawn renewed public attention following a Netflix series and the emergence of new evidence supporting the brothers' claims of abuse.
