A resentencing hearing for Erik, 54, and Lyle, 57, Menendez was halted on Thursday by a judge, who ruled in favor of a last-minute motion filed by Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic postponed the two-day hearing so that he and defense attorneys for the Menendez brothers could review a portion of a comprehensive risk assessment completed by the parole board on April 15.
