Clemency from California's governor may be the last hope for convicted killers Erik and Lyle Menendez, who will attend a resentencing hearing in the coming weeks but were just dealt a blow by L.A.'s new D.

The question for the board is a simple one, do they pose a current ‘unreasonable risk to public safety?”‘ Newsom said.

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.
