Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime, discussing trending cases like the Menendez Brothers.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has fast-tracked a parole board assessment to determine whether Lyle and Erik Menendez should be granted clemency after serving life without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents.

This decision has sparked new hope for the brothers and their family, with supporters arguing their rehabilitation and history of alleged abuse warrant a second look.

However, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman is pushing back, calling for their habeas corpus petition to be denied.
