A hearing on Monday for the Menendez Brothers, who could have led to the conviction of the Menendez Brothers in 1989, was postponed from June 13 to August.

A spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said the brothers’ hearing on parole will be from August 21 to 22.

Erik Menendez, 54, and Lyle Menendez, 57, won in court on May 13 when the judge was indignant, a move that allowed them to immediately qualify for parole. They were sentenced to life imprisonment, while the killing of parents Jose and kitten Menendez without parole.

In another effort, a hearing for leniency from California Gov. Gavin Newsom was originally scheduled for June 13, and a parole suitability hearing was added to that date.

Parole hearing executive Scott Wyckoff explained the situation in a letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times:

“As the ruling makes them immediately eligible for parole as young offenders, the purpose of the Board is to convert the June 13, 2025 widespread hearing into the initial parole suitability hearing.”

The parole board hearing was converted to parole deliberations after notifying the possibility of key parties, including the victim’s family. A spokesman for the Department of Corrections said the parties raised objections to the conversion, resulting in the parole hearing being postponed to August.

The brothers' wide-ranging applications remain active among the governors.

In August, the parole commissioner will be appointed to determine whether the risk of the brothers releasing dangers on parole is unreasonable. Prosecutors, relatives of the victims and others may weigh in at the hearing.

The brothers have been serving the Richard Donovan Correctional Institution in San Diego County. They were convicted in their parents' 1989 murder case, which prosecutors say was inspired by their desire to take over their family's money.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic opened up the possibility of parole if they were released and left them less than 50 years old.

The two’s attorney Mark Geragos and other supporters claimed the murder was a result of self-defense as a result of his father’s reaction to Lyle’s claims of sexual abuse against Erik.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman opposes resentment, in part because he believes the brothers are not fully responsible for the crime. Speaking after their resentment, the brothers said they had taken full responsibility and had no reason to kill their parents.
