The DA’s office announced Friday yet another turn in the twisted saga of the Menendez brothers.

January 18, 2025 – LOS ANGELES, CA – Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced on Friday that the resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez, originally scheduled for January 30-31, has been continued by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic.

The announcement came after what prosecutor Nathan Hochman said was a "productive" meeting with the brothers' relatives who support their release.

The judge overseeing the Menendez brothers' resentencing postponed their next hearing following the devastating fires in Los Angeles County. ​

The resentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers has been postponed nearly two months due to the wildfires impacting Los Angeles County, the county's lead prosecutor said Friday.

“The continuance is due to the impact of recent wildfires on the parties’ extensive preparations for the hearings,” LA district attorney Nathan Hochman, who recently replaced George Gascon, announced. The hearing had originally been scheduled to take place on January 30th-31st.

The resentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers has been delayed to March due to devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
