That's the question everyone is asking but for now...everyone will have to wait another month after the hearing abruptly ended.  Joel & #BestGuests [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bestguests] Josh Ritter and Robert Rand bring us all up to speed on the latest news today.  Erik and Lyle Menendez's resentencing hearing started April 17th and was filled with tension and tempers.  Erik and Lyle have served time in prison for more than 3 decades after attacking and killing their mother and father, Kitty and Jose Menendez. Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents on Aug. 20, 1989. The Menendez brothers testified that they killed their mother and father in self-defense after a lifetime of emotional, physical and SA. At the time, Lyle was 21, and Erik was 18. This high profile case has now come down to the brothers' attorney trying to get them released and Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman trying to keep both brothers behind bars.

LIVE PRESS CONFERENCE! Menendez Brothers to be Resentenced?

Are the Menendez brothers one step closer to freedom? Today’s high-stakes hearing could change everything.  #STSNation [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/stsnation],  Welcome to Surviving the Survivor — the podcast that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bestguests] in all of #TrueCrime [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/truecrime].  The Menendez brothers are back in court as a judge weighs the fate of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who’ve spent nearly three decades behind bars for the brutal slaying of their parents.  With the new Los Angeles DA Nathan Hochman pushing to withdraw the resentencing motion filed by his predecessor, the courtroom drama intensifies.  While the defense argues they should have faced manslaughter charges and already be free, the DA’s office accuses the brothers of clinging to a “bunker of lies” about their motives and the killings. Politics, public sentiment, and raw legal strategy collide in this pivotal moment that could open the door to parole — or slam it shut forever.  Press conference ahead…  #MenendezBrothers [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/menendezbrothers] #TrueCrime [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/truecrime] #SurvivingTheSurvivor [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/survivingthesurvivor] #LyleMenendez [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lylemenendez] #ErikMenendez [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/erikmenendez] #Resentencing [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/resentencing] #Justice [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/justice] #CourtHearing [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/courthearing] #MurderTrial [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/murdertrial] #Parole [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/parole] #GavinNewsom [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/gavinnewsom] #CrimeUpdate [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/crimeupdate] #CriminalJustice [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/criminaljustice] #TrueCrimeCommunity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/truecrimecommunity] Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLx [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3gzcS13cGhnRzFEcnNUMEhlaWlUeFNxWXlMZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuM2xxeHp3U1lORTVhMFVvaFVpeE5XM3VsQ2xtdERrTnlUVFFDWFN0Wk9TYnB4bmxIMENXQ2U0OFBBRFlfSTd2b3IzQTBHY1huZngzd1hHWFJDZy05RHVUQjRIS0l3dllBdEFtSDNUQjExWnAydjFmUQ&q=Https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F48GwbLx&v=voqpOxxQJc8] All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcast [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUdhMHpSZUpYTmxlUFViOHJicUdWZVJVUHkxUXxBQ3Jtc0ttX3BRamlkNFZLS2NtREpRaTdKYm5kTXZ6Qkc1cXA4bE41WEpVbDlNaksxU2lQb2s0b1A1Tm1UU2RtS1c0eTViMHVwWmw1YV9yaEZKR2pZS3YzWnlSbmx3S3VGSzgyc3Z6NkV2QXVHcXcxc0RKNGxFQQ&q=Https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Fstspodcast&v=voqpOxxQJc8] Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivor [https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivor] Catch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@SurvivingTheSurvivor] Surviving the Survivor is the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime and is hosted by Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman.
