TL;DR Summary

The Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, who were sentenced to life without parole for the 1989 murder of their parents, are seeking resentencing with support from their aunts, who claim the brothers were sexually abused by their father. A Los Angeles judge has delayed the hearing to January to allow the new district attorney to review the case. Outgoing DA George Gascón had recommended resentencing, citing new evidence of abuse, but the incoming DA, Nathan Hochman, plans to conduct his own review. The brothers' potential release would ultimately depend on the parole board and Governor Gavin Newsom.
