Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announced a risk assessment of Lyle and Erik Menendez to determine whether the convicted murderers “pose a current, unreasonable risk to public safety.”
Risk assessments are conducted by public safety experts and forensic psychologists. Additionally, Newsom promised to publicize the findings to the judges who will rule over the recent sentencing motion in LA Superior Court and to the Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who opposed their resentencing.
Newsom explained his decision in a video posted to X featuring the logo of his new podcast, This is Gavin Newsom in the corner, just hours after the podcast was announced.
