Newsom Postpones Clemency Decision for Menendez Brothers Amid New Review

California Governor Gavin Newsom has delayed a clemency decision for Lyle and Erik Menéndez, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, until the new Los Angeles District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, reviews the case. The outgoing DA, George Gascón, had recommended resentencing, citing the brothers' claims of abuse and new evidence. Hochman criticized Gascón's timing as politically motivated, while Newsom's office stated the governor respects the DA's role in ensuring justice. The Menéndez brothers have garnered support from family and advocates, including Kim Kardashian.
