Earlier this month, the office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the brothers' leniency hearing was converted to parole hearings after the governor withdrew his request for a leniency investigation.
While the parole board will recommend whether the two should be released early, Newsom can still approve or deny the decision.
Lyle Menendez's Facebook post confirmed the delay of the hearing.

“Take a break to confirm what has been reported today,” the Post wrote. “The parole hearing date for these guys has been postponed until August 21.”
The post added: “Given that statistically first-time searchers have much more time to parole, this gives them and their attorneys more time to prepare and provides them with the best opportunity to be an exception to the rule! This is a good thing.”
Earlier this month, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic was indignant at the two brothers until age 50, qualifying them for parole. Jesus’ resentful decision toward the brothers opened the door for parole hearings to determine whether they should be released.

The two were initially sentenced to life imprisonment for their 1996 conviction after murdering their parents in 1989.
The brothers believe that after years of abuse by their father, they killed in self-defense. They spent 35 years in prison.
