Finally, some good news for those poor, misunderstood Menendez brothers.  As you’ll recall, the former Los Angeles district attorney felt it was fair to allow the boys to have a resentencing hearing based on new evidence – which is typical protocol.  Then the new DA decided he wasn’t so inclined.  While the wheels of justice inched along, Governor Gavin Newsom ordered the boys appear before the parole board for an evaluation on June 13^th.  After receiving their recommendation, Newsom could direct the resentencing hearing take place, or even give them a full pardon.  That all may be a moot point.  Last week, LA County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic weighed in on the original resentencing request.  While the current DA strenuously objected, Judge Jesic determined the right thing to do is to go forward with the resentencing hearing – which will take place on April 17^th in Van Nuys.

I was surprised to see that Cooper Koch was present in the courtroom at last week’s hearing.  He, of course, portrayed Lyle Menendez in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.  I’m told he was invited by members of the Menendez family, who he has gotten close to.  He’s also close with his own family.  Cooper has two brothers – gay twin Payton and younger brother Walker.  Walker recently posted a photo of his twin brothers about to kiss in a mockup of the White Lotus poster – just in time for the series finale.  While he quickly deleted the pic, you can check it out on BillyMasters.com. 

When the Koch boys are keeping it all in the family, it’s definitely time to end yet another column.  I’ve heard of brotherly love, but this is ridiculous…although I’d definitely want to see video footage!  By the time you read this, Gayle King will be in space.  Not outer space – just inner space.  In fact, her whole journey will take a scant eleven minutes.  Frankly, I can make you see stars a whole lot quicker (and cheaper) on www.BillyMasters.com – the site that has its share of heavenly bodies.  None of my Ask Billy questions seemed to warrant publishing.  But that shouldn’t stop you from writing.  Send your notes to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Belinda remembers to hydrate!  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
