<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">A hearing was held Friday to determine whether the brothers&#8217; resentencing case should include information from the California Board of Parole&#8217;s newly completed risk assessment, which was conducted as a part of a separate clemency path. The risk assessment came at the request of Gov. Gavin Newsom as a part of the brothers&#8217; clemency bid; the brothers are pursuing multiple avenues to freedom, and the clemency path is separate from the resentencing path.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Judge Michael Jesic indicated he will take some of the risk assessment into account, but that the information in it is preliminary and attorneys can&#8217;t question the forensic psychologists who performed the examinations.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The risk assessment said Erik and Lyle Menendez pose a moderate risk to the community if they&#8217;re released.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The assessment revealed the brothers possessed illegal cellphones in prison, among numerous other violations. Erik Menendez had a phone as recently as January of this year, which Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman stressed was during the resentencing effort when he should have been on his best behavior.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Erik Menendez allegedly bought and traded drugs and allegedly helped inmates commit tax fraud years ago, according to the assessment. The psychologists found Lyle Menendez to be narcissistic.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The assessment said the brothers had a likelihood to not follow the law out of prison if they ignored rules in prison.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Jesic appeared to dismiss many of the findings.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The assessment likely includes the positive work the brothers have done in prison, too. Hochman&#8217;s predecessor, George Gascón, has praised them for furthering their education, rehabilitating themselves and starting programs to help other inmates.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Also at Friday&#8217;s hearing, defense attorney Mark Geragos withdrew his attempt to get Hochman kicked off the case after making allegations against his background and alleging the DA hired a crisis public relations firm to go after the brothers. Hochman denied that, saying the PR firm was not for the brothers but for his campaign, and that the PR firm ended its work after he was elected in November.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Friday&#8217;s hearing followed <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/da-asks-delay-hours-menendez-brothers-return-court/story?id=120788479" target="_blank">a dramatic court appearance on April 17</a>, which was initially set to be the brothers&#8217; resentencing hearing. However, on April 16, the district attorney&#8217;s office in a filing urged Jesic to delay the resentencing hearing if he couldn&#8217;t obtain a copy of the risk assessment report in time for court.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Hochman, who wants to keep the brothers behind bars, argued the risk assessment is relevant to the resentencing case, while Geragos noted a strong desire for the assessment to be used only for the June 13 parole hearing.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">For next week&#8217;s resentencing hearing, Geragos said he will have seven witnesses rather than his previously planned 20 witnesses. Two experts are expected to testify.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Erik and Lyle Menendez &#8212; who are serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez &#8212; have the <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/menendez-brothers-aunt-hospitalized-after-da-shares-graphic/story?id=120782064" target="_blank">support of over 20 family members</a> in their efforts to be freed after 35 years behind bars.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Their resentencing case gained momentum in October when Gascón announced he was in support of resentencing.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Gascón recommended the brothers&#8217; sentences of life without the possibility of parole be removed, and said they should instead be sentenced for murder, which would be a sentence of 50 years to life. Because both brothers were under 26 at the time of the crimes, they would be eligible for parole immediately with the new sentence.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Gascón&#8217;s office said its resentencing recommendations take into account many factors, including rehabilitation in prison and abuse or trauma that contributed to the crime.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN ">In November, Gascón lost his reelection bid to Hochman, who in March <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/menendez-brothers-case-da-asks-court-withdraw-resentencing/story?id=119129474" target="_blank">filed a motion to withdraw the resentencing petition</a>, calling the brothers&#8217; claims of self-defense part of a litany of &#8220;lies.&#8221; The judge <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/menendez-brothers-resentencing-hearing-week-risk-assessment-pose/119670213" target="_blank">denied the request</a> by Hochman.</p>
