California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that he will not make a decision on clemency for Erik and Lyle Menendez until the newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, reviews the case.
The Menendez brothers, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, have been seeking clemency as one of several legal avenues for release. Hochman, who takes office in December, will play a key role in determining the future of the case. Newsom's decision to wait underscores the importance of the DA's review in this high-profile case.
The brothers' legal team continues to push for their release through multiple channels.
