A new sentencing hearing for brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez in the killing of their parents has been delayed for nearly two months because of Southern California’s wildfires.

Windy, flame-fanning weather in Southern California has eased up as firefighters report significant gains against the two massive wildfires burning around Los Angeles.

Easing winds have delivered a brief but much-needed reprieve to firefighters as they battle two massive blazes in the Los Angeles area.

The new Los Angeles County district attorney has met with the Menendez brothers’ family as he continues to review the brothers' bid for freedom 35 years after they were convicted of killing their parents.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he won’t make a clemency decision on the murder convictions of Erik and Lyle Menendez until newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman reviews the case.

Ten years ago, 3.7 million Californians voted for a landmark measure that made many nonviolent crimes misdemeanors instead of felonies.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has advanced to a runoff in his reelection bid.
