A new sentencing hearing for brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez in the killing of their parents has been delayed for nearly two months because of Southern California’s wildfires
The greatest natural disaster in LA history now sees the change for the Menendez brothers to maybe get out of jail earlier moved weeks down the line
The announcement came after what prosecutor Nathan Hochman said was a "productive" meeting with the brothers' relatives who support their release.
Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing their parents in 1989, will continue to wait for their day in court after their resentencing hearing was pushed back for the second time.
The judge overseeing the Menendez brothers' resentencing postponed their next hearing following the devastating fires in Los Angeles County. ​
The resentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers has been delayed to March due to devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
“The continuance is due to the impact of recent wildfires on the parties’ extensive preparations for the hearings,” LA district attorney Nathan Hochman, who recently replaced George Gascon, announced. The hearing had originally been scheduled to take place on January 30th-31st.
