Erik and Lyle's lawyer, Mark Geragos, filed legal docs Tuesday with California Governor Gavin Newsom, asking him to grant clemency to his clients. It's significant, because over the weekend, Newsom dropped a podcast in which he said, "This is obviously some new compelling evidence that was introduced" ... referring to, among other things, a letter Erik sent to his cousin strongly insinuating his dad was molesting him just months before the murders.
