California Governor Gavin Newsom has delayed Erik Menendez and Lyle Menendez’s resentencing hearing, ordering the state's Board of Parole Hearings to conduct a "risk assessment investigation" first. The hearing was originally scheduled for March 20th and 21st.
Lyle responded to the news on Facebook, telling supporters to "Hang tight, be patient, and keep the faith." Newsom stated that experts will evaluate whether the brothers have "done the transformational work needed" to avoid reoffending. The parole board will receive the results in a few months, potentially leading to a hearing or clemency.

Gypsy Rose Gives Menendez Brothers Advice If They Get Out
Gypsy Rose Blanchard thinks Erik Menendez and Lyle Menendez should take it slow if they ever get out of prison. When asked by “TMZ” what advice she’d give the infamous Menendez brothers, she said, “Hollywood will always be there,” and suggested they “take some time to themselves” before jumping into the spotlight. The former inmate herself admitted she regrets diving straight into media appearances after her own release and wants them to avoid the same mistake.
The brothers recently shared on the “2 Angry Men” podcast that they have big plans if freed, but Gypsy says there’s no rush…she’ll be watching whenever they decide to tell their story.

Blanchard, meanwhile, was released from prison in Missouri in 2023, after being sentenced to ten years in 2016 for her role in her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard’s, murder.
