US EditionMenendez brothers’ June hearing converted from clemency to parole as decision looms for Gov. Newsom
- On May 13, 2025, Judge Michael Jesic of the Los Angeles County Superior Court adjusted the sentences of Erik and Lyle Menendez to 50 years to life, allowing them to qualify for parole consideration.
- Jesic removed a special-circumstance allegation that had kept their life sentences without parole intact, enabling parole eligibility due to the brothers’ ages at the time of the crime.
- During the hearing, the brothers made emotional video statements accepting full responsibility, expressing regret, and describing efforts to rehabilitate during over 35 years incarcerated.
- Their first parole suitability hearing is scheduled for June 13, 2025, after which the state parole board will recommend to Governor Gavin Newsom, who holds final approval authority.
- Newsom’s decision on parole carries significant political implications before the 2026 gubernatorial election and likely represents his last major parole ruling as governor.
