California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that he will postpone his decision on clemency for Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989. The delay is to allow the newly elected Los Angeles County district attorney to complete a review of the case.
The governor's office stated that Governor Newsom respects the role of the district attorney in ensuring justice is served and will defer to the review and analysis of the Menendez case by District Attorney-elect Nathan Hochman.
