Gov. Gavin Newsom Orders 'Comprehensive Risk Assessment' for Menendez Brothers
California Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered a comprehensive risk assessment to determine if the Menendez brothers, imprisoned for the 1989 murder of their parents, pose a public threat if released. This inquiry may lead to a commutation of their life sentences, offering them a potential opportunity to live beyond prison walls. The evaluation will review their personal development, participation in rehabilitation programs, and the overall impact on victims and survivors. Public safety experts and forensic psychologists will conduct the assessment, which is expected to last up to 90 days. After this, if Gov. Newsom supports their release, the parole board will review the case within six months. This move is supported by Attorney Mark Geragos and the brothers' family, who argue they acted in self-defense after enduring years of abuse.
