Share this @internewscast.com

The parole hearing for the Menendez brothers has been rescheduled for August, according to California officials.

Lyle and Erik Menendez are scheduled to attend their parole hearing on August 21 and 22, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to Fox News Digital.

The hearing was originally set for June 13.

“Taking a break from my break to confirm the news reported today,” the post states. “The guys’ parole hearing date has been postponed to August 21 and 22.”

“Considering that first-time parole seekers statistically face challenges in being granted parole, this extension gives the guys and their attorneys additional time to prepare, offering them a better chance to defy the odds! This is a positive development,” the post continued.

The two brothers were resentenced by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic earlier this month to 50 years-to-life, making them eligible for parole. Jesic’s decision to resentence the brothers opened the door for the parole hearing to determine whether they should be released.

The pair were originally sentenced to life without parole for their 1996 conviction after murdering their parents in 1989.

The brothers have argued that they carried out the killings in self-defense after years of abuse from their father. They have spent 35 years behind bars.
