Menendez Brothers to Face Parole Board in June as Clemency Review Progresses

California Governor Gavin Newsom has scheduled a June 13 parole board hearing to assess whether Lyle and Erik Menendez should be granted clemency after 35 years in prison.

• The Menendez brothers, convicted of killing their parents in 1989, will have separate parole board hearings on June 13 as part of their clemency bid.
• Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered an independent risk assessment to evaluate the brothers' rehabilitation and potential public safety risk if released.
• Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman opposes resentencing, citing the brothers' alleged failure to fully take responsibility for their actions and claims of self-defense.
• New evidence, including a letter and testimony alleging abuse by their father, has been presented to support their case but has faced scrutiny over credibility.
• The final clemency decision rests with Gov. Newsom, who has stated he will rely solely on facts and expert evaluations, independent of public or media influence.
