A Los Angeles judge has paused a hearing on whether Erik and Lyle Menendez should receive reduced sentences. The brothers were convicted in 1996 of murdering their parents in 1989. The judge called for a long recess Thursday to determine whether a risk assessment report of the brothers from the California governor's office could be used in the proceedings. Menendez attorney Mark Geragos condemned District Attorney Nathan Hochman for talking about the report during a news conference outside the courthouse when the defense hadn't even seen it. Prosecutors say the report is a vital tool and have asked for a postponement so all the parties can consider it.
