Judge Michael Jesic announced during the preliminary hearing at Van Nuys Courthouse West in Los Angeles on Monday, November 25, that he was delaying Erik, 53, and Lyle’s hearing on potential resentencing — which was supposed to take place on Wednesday, December 11 — until Thursday, January 30 and Friday, January 31.
The judge said he had no choice but to reschedule the hearing in order to give himself enough time to review “17 boxes” of evidence related to the siblings’ case — including potential proof to back up Erik and Lyle’s claims they were forced to kill their parents as a result of sexual abuse on behalf of their father dating back to when they were 6 years old.
