Menendez Brothers put the next obstacle in the hands of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, one step closer to life outside the prison wall after the bombshell decided to reduce life sentences.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic sent Erik and Lyle Menendez's original sentences on Tuesday, sentenced to 50 years in prison and potentially parole.

Jesus’ resentful decision toward the Menendez brothers opened the door to parole hearings to determine whether they should be released.

“The board’s problem is a simple one – Erik and Lyle Menendez, who form the trend, we call it “unreasonable risk of public safety,” Newsom previously said in his podcast: “This is Gavin Newsom.”

Newsom ordered Menendez Brothers' "risk assessment" orders before a grudge hearing

In October, brothers attorney Mark Geragos filed wide large documents to Newsom after former Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón asked the judge to reduce his judgment.

"I strongly support Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are currently serving sentences without parole," Gasco said earlier. "They have served for 34 years respectively and continue their education and work to develop new plans to support the rehabilitation of prisoners."

To cope with their leniency, Newsom directed the state parole board to conduct a "comprehensive risk assessment investigation" of the Menendez brothers.

Newsom describes the evaluation as "a common procedure implemented by the state."

"The results are not guaranteed here," Newsom said earlier. "My office has conducted dozens of leniency surveys on a consistent basis, but the process just provides greater transparency, which I think is important in this case and I will give us more due diligence until I make any determination about leniency."

Fox News Digital contacted Newsom's office, which mentioned Wednesday's press conference where he briefly spoke about the parole process for the Menendez brothers and said the process is still unfolding.

"As you know, we initiated a process that aims to help judges infringe on risk assessments. We believe we should act cautiously before any resentment. In the last few months, this process has unfolded, with forensic psychologists assessing each brother."

Some details of these risk assessments have not been made public and are presented in a section of Tuesday’s resentment hearing. The analysis of these reports often includes causes that lead to a person's chances of committing crimes, prison conduct and recidivism.

Both brothers admit that in the 1989 shotgun massacre, they killed their parents, Mary "Katie" and Jose Menendez. Until Tuesday's resentment hearing, they insisted that their behavior was self-defense for life, physical and sexual abuse by their parents.

Newsom's office explains California’s legal standard for release on parole is whether prisoners pose an unreasonable risk to public safety, which must be determined before the governor can make a decision about commuting.

"This process does not mean any guaranteed results, but it shows that we are conducting due diligence to ensure transparency, keep public safety at the forefront, ensure that the process is fair to everyone involved and is getting closer to the conclusion," Newsom's office said.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told Fox News Digital that the judge's decision and the next step in the parole process is being studied.

"When the court is dissatisfied with the defendant, it issues a new judgment to the CDCR. The department then handles the judgment as soon as possible while complying with the legal mandate."

The department added: "If the judgment of the incarcerated person is changed to allow the possibility of parole, the CDCR will determine the applicable parole date that meets parole."

Newsom's wide-track is still a possibility.

"So the question for the parole board is whether they keep it as a more traditional parole process or do they choose to have a separate avenue for independent parole analysis?" Newsom asked.

"This is a conversation we have to make a decision. So, it is conceivable that there may be suggestions for me on June 13. I am the final arbitrator and have to review the recommendations and reports of the parole board. It is also conceivable that this will happen in a few months. So, this is the process we actually determine."

Newsom's parole board hearing was scheduled on June 13 and the board will have the opportunity to release the brothers.

Regardless of what happened to their leniency, Newsom still has the final say on whether they should be free.

Former U.S. Attorney Neama Rahmani told Fox News Digital Tuesday that Erik and Lyle Menendez were “probably freed within a few months,” adding that he did not expect “parole board or Governor Newsom” to prevent their release.

Even if the parole board approves their release, the governor has the power to veto and can pardon himself.
