This decision was made by Superior Court \u200bJudge Michael Jesic during \u200ba <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">recent court session<\/a>, \u200dwhere for the first time\u2063 in nearly three decades, \u200bthe brothers participated virtually. The postponement \u200callows the judge more time to review new evidence presented by the defense, which includes claims of past abuse by their\u200b father, Jose Menendez. The\u200b push\u2064 for resentencing is partly attributed \u2063to a\u200c recommendation from\u200c outgoing\u200c Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, influenced by the popularity of a Netflix documentary\u200d on the case, which suggests reducing their sentences\u200d for potential parole eligibility. During the \u2062hearing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gold-star-families-fire-at-harris-for-attacking-arlington-service\/\" title=\"Gold Star Families Fire At Harris For Attacking Arlington Service\">family members testified<\/a> in support of the brothers, \u2063asking for\u200d their release. The originally scheduled hearing for\u200d December 11,\u2063 2023, has been moved to January 30-31,\u200b 2025, due\u200d to technical \u200cdifficulties and the need for further deliberation on the substantial evidence provided.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Menendez brothers resentencing delayed until January 2025<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1892543\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A judge in the Menendez brothers trial has postponed a resentencing hearing to January 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Erik and Lyle Menendez who infamously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"murdered their parents\">murdered their parents<\/a> in 1989, appeared virtually for the first time in almost 30 years at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">court<\/a> hearing.
