A hearing that could potentially lead to the freedom of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, has been postponed from June 13 to August 21 and 22, according to California corrections officials. The postponement follows a court ruling that resentenced the brothers, making them eligible for parole as youth offenders, despite objections from victims’ families. The parole commissioners will evaluate whether the brothers pose a danger upon release, while their clemency application with Governor Gavin Newsom remains pending.
