Anamaria Baralt, a cousin of the Menendez Brothers, said the new schedule would allow them more time to prepare for the hearings.

If the Menendez brothers are set free, they may choose to go back to their hometown of Beverly Hills, CA, where their family home and site of their parents' murder is located; however, they will not have the immediate option of returning to their dwelling, which has changed hands several times since they were convicted.
