A long-awaited resentencing hearing for Lyle and Erik Menendez ground to a halt Thursday just hours after attorneys arrived at the courthouse in Van Nuys, partly over a risk assessment report on the brothers that was was not intended for this week's court proceeding.

The Menendez hearing is now under way. It started about 15 minutes late, possibly because the LA District Attorney was giving a press conference outside the court. The brothers have joined via a video link from prison. They are incarcerated near San Diego at a prison just north of the border with Tijuana, Mexico.

The resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez hit another road block as a judge ruled to resume court on May 9 pending two motions that still needed further review.
