(RightIsRight.co) – In a development that most conservatives will find disturbing, the Menendez brothers, infamous for the cold-blooded 1989 murder of their parents, are slated for a parole hearing in June 2025.

California Governor Gavin Newsom set the stage for what may be a controversial push for their release. Meanwhile, fierce opposition stands from the Los Angeles County DA office.
On June 13, 2025, separate parole hearings will determine if Erik and Lyle Menendez could be granted clemency.
Serving life sentences without parole, the brothers hope new evidence will sway the board’s decision. Their case has sparked discussions on justice and leniency for heinous crimes.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman strongly opposes their release, critiquing the brothers’ refusal to fully admit their crime.
Hochman argues, “The Menendez brothers have never come clean and admitted that they lied about their self-defense as well as suborned perjury.”
Such firm resistance underscores the gravity of their actions.
Governor Gavin Newsom highlights the need for independent investigation rather than dramatization.
Newsom stated, “A report then will be submitted to me on the 13th of June for consideration,” demonstrating an impartial approach necessary in these weighty decisions.
“We will submit that report to the judge for the resentencing, and that will weigh in to our independent analysis of whether or not to move forward with the clemency application to support a commutation of this case,” he added.
Despite the opposition, over 20 relatives support the brothers’ parole after 35 years in prison.
Their lawyer, Mark Geragos, insists, “The law’s gonna be followed. And if the law’s followed, they should be out.”
However, the legal system’s fairness depends on the facts, not emotional appeals.
The parole board must weigh new evidence alleging past abuse by the brothers’ father, José Menendez.
Should the board find these claims credible, it could sway their decision towards leniency. Yet, Hochman remains skeptical, deeming the evidence insufficient and inadmissible.
“If the Menendez brothers, at some point, unequivocally, sincerely and fully accept complete responsibility…in the future, the court can weigh these new insights,” he said.
The Menendez brothers’ journey continues to evoke strong emotions and opinions.
