A month before a potentially pivotal resentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers and as the LA County Distract Attorney rejects a new trial for the siblings, Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered a risk assessment probe for Erik Menendez and Lyle Menendez as a clemency petition sits on his desk.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is ordering the parole board to launch an investigation into whether the Menendez brothers pose "an unreasonable risk to the public."

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Friday he is asking a judge to deny the Menendez brothers' habeas petition requesting a new trial, potentially eliminating one of three possible tracks to an early release.
