A hearing is scheduled Monday in the case against Erik and Lyle Menendez, two brothers who were convicted of murdering their parents in their Beverly Hills home nearly 35 years ago.According to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the status hearing is set to begin at 10:30 a.m. local time. Officials said just 16 seats in the courtroom will be made available to the public, and a lottery will be conducted prior to the hearing to determine who will be granted access.
In October, current Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón advocated for re-sentencing the Menendez brothers in light of new evidence — including a letter written by Erik Menendez, alluding to abuse he endured prior to the murders.However, Gascón recently lost his reelection bid to District Attorney-elect Nathan Hochman. And California Gov. Gavin Newsom said a decision on whether to resentence the Menendez brothers won't happen until Hochman reviews the case.
