Menendez Brothers' Parole Hearing Moved Up to March 2027

California's parole board granted Erik and Lyle Menendez a March 2027 suitability hearing — roughly 17 months earlier than the August 2028 date set after their August 2025 parole denial. A judge resentenced the brothers, convicted in 1996 of murdering their parents, to 50 years to life in May 2025, making them parole-eligible. A suitability hearing determines whether release is appropriate.
