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.

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.

Erik and Lyle Menendez's bid for freedom was on indefinite hold Friday, following an emotional day in court that ended when a judge scheduled a May 9 motions hearing to discuss the admissibility of a state parole board risk-assessment report and an anticipated defense motion seeking to recuse the District Attorney's Office from the case.
