Newsom on Monday plans to propose a new parole board process that could clear a path for more prisoners to have their sentences shortened via a risk assessment investigation similar to the one currently underway for Erik and Lyle Menendez.

Attorneys for Lyle and Erik Menendez said Wednesday that California Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered the state parole board to investigate whether the brothers would pose a risk to the public if they are released after nearly three decades in prison for the 1989 killing of their parents.

In something of a surprise announcement, Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday said on his podcast that Lyle and Erik Menendez will appear before a parole board in three months, TMZ reported. News of the brothers’ June 13 hearing comes on the heels of Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman holding a press conference
