The resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, has been postponed to January 2025. A Los Angeles judge delayed the hearing to allow incoming District Attorney Nathan Hochman time to review the case. The brothers' attorney, Mark Geragos, is seeking to reduce their conviction from first-degree murder to voluntary manslaughter, which could make them eligible for parole. The case has gained renewed attention due to recent media portrayals and new evidence of alleged abuse by their father.

Attorney Mark Geragos believes the media got the Menendez brothers' case wrong, arguing that they should have been convicted of manslaughter rather than first-degree murder due to alleged abuse. New evidence, including a letter and affidavit, supports the brothers' claims of abuse by their father. Their post-conviction attorneys have filed a petition to vacate their convictions, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney has until April 11 to respond. The Fox Nation special "Menendez Brothers: Victims or Villains" re-examines the case and its impact on the criminal justice system and media influence.

Attorney Mark Geragos, who is representing the Menendez Brothers, argues that two new pieces of evidence, a letter written by Erik and the rape claims made by former Menudo member Roy Rossello, are crucial in getting a new trial for the brothers. The evidence supports their claim that their father was molesting them, which could have resulted in a different outcome in the 90s when they were sentenced to life in prison without parole. Geragos believes the evidence is strong enough to warrant a new trial and perhaps a new verdict.
