California Gov. #GavinNewsom will not make any clemency decisions about convicted murderers #ErikMenendez and #LyleMenendez until District Attorney-elect #NathanHochman completes his review and analysis of the case, the governor’s office said in a statement Monday.

While resentencing for the brothers was supported by outgoing D.A. George Gascón following new evidence of sexual abuse and the success of #RyanMurphy’s Netflix hit “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” and its coinciding documentary “The Menendez Brothers,” the newly elected Hochman has remained more conservative in his view of the case.

“You’ve really got to get beyond the Netflix documentary,” Hochman told “Good Morning America” on Thursday. “If you decide this case based on just viewing a Netflix documentary, you are doing a disservice to the Menendez brothers, to the victims’ family members, to the public.”

Responding to ongoing calls and mounting petitions for resentencing the Menendez brothers, Gov. Newsom said Monday that Hochman has been entrusted to carry out justice in the case via the recent vote.

“The Governor respects the role of the District Attorney in ensuring justice is served and recognizes that voters have entrusted District Attorney-elect Hochman to carry out this responsibility,” the governor’s office statement read, as obtained by TheWrap. “The Governor will defer to the DA-elect’s review and analysis of the Menendez case prior to making any clemency decisions.”
