Newsom halts Menendez brothers’ clemency decision until LA DA-elect’s review

California Governor Gavin Newsom has made a decision to delay a ruling on clemency for Erik and Lyle Menendez, the infamous siblings who were convicted of killing their wealthy parents. This delay comes as a result of the recent election of a new Los Angeles County district attorney, Nathan Hochman, who defeated George Gascón, the previous district attorney who had advocated for the brothers’ release from prison.

Newsom’s office stated that he respects the role of the district attorney in ensuring justice is served and acknowledges the responsibility entrusted to Hochman by the voters. As a result, the governor has decided to defer to Hochman’s review and analysis of the Menendez case before making any decisions regarding clemency.

Hochman, who campaigned on a platform of taking a tougher stance on crime, has committed to thoroughly reviewing the case upon taking office on December 2nd. This review will involve examining thousands of pages of prison files, trial transcripts, and speaking with various stakeholders before making a recommendation to the court.

The Menendez brothers, now in their 50s, were sentenced to life without parole in 1996 for the brutal killings of their parents, Jose and Kitty, in 1989. The trial, which captivated the nation, revealed allegations of years of sexual and physical abuse at the hands of their father, with the defense arguing self-defense and the prosecution claiming they were after their parents’ fortune.

Despite a hung jury in 1994, a second trial in 1995 resulted in both brothers being convicted of two counts of first-degree murder. The case had largely faded from the spotlight until a recent Netflix series reignited interest in the story.

With the fate of the Menendez brothers now in the hands of a new district attorney, the future remains uncertain for the siblings who have spent over three decades behind bars. The decision to delay clemency represents a pivotal moment in a case that has captured the attention of the public for years.
