Erik Menendez

Erik Menendez was denied parole after California’s parole board proposed freedom.

The young men of the two notorious Menandes brothers, both convicted of their wealthy parents in Beverly Hills at a shotgun in 1989, made their first plead guilty Thursday morning on the parole board.

His brother Lyle plans to face his own parole suitability hearing on Friday. Both brothers are eligible for release on parole Resented by the judge in May.

The board ruled that Erik Menendez could try parole again at another hearing in three years.

Parole Board Commissioner Robert Barton, who discussed testimony with the panel for more than 10 hours before denying Erik’s parole, said he believed Erik was not ready for release.

“I believe in redemption or I wouldn’t do the job,” he told Eric at the end of the marathon hearing. “But by legal standards, we find that you continue to pose an unreasonable risk to public safety.”

The board of directors commits crimes that violate prison and past crimes, especially before killing their parents.

“Contrary to the beliefs of your supporters, you are not a model prisoner, and frankly, we find something unsettling.”

“One is a poor party,” Patton told Eric. “Or, you can cheer up what we’re discussing.”

His bid for freedom is not over yet. Parole denial may shift the focus to Gov Gavin Newsomrespectively, filed wide-ranging requests from the two brothers.

The pilgrimage may come in the form of reduced punishment or even pardon, but this will not overturn the brother’s beliefs. For Newsom, politically controversial cases could take political risks, and the news agency is considered a contender for the president.

In addition to parole and leniency, the brothers also filed a new trial as other evidence was found in the case.

The judge is considering the request, but the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office objected.

During the hearing, a prosecutor in the District Attorney’s Office opposed Erik’s release, saying that the positive changes in his behavior were inspired only by opportunities for release. They believe that he is “still an unreasonable risk to society” and that he “has no deep understanding of his crimes”.

Erik, wearing blue prison jumpsuits and glasses, actually showed up at a hearing at the San Diego prison where he was placed. His family, his attorneys and prosecutors from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office also appeared in a video call with the parole board team.

During the almost-every day hearing, the team asked him about the murder, his relationship with his parents and his attempts to cover up the inner gui in the murder. He sometimes becomes excited, describing his shooting gun at his parents while watching TV in his Beverly Hills mansion.

The brothers fired more than ten times, and Eric even reinstalled the gun and continued to shoot at his mother. He and his brother have long claimed self-defense and said they are sexually abused.

“I just want my family to know that I feel very sad about what I went through in the hearing from August 20, 1989 to today,” Eric said at the hearing.

“If I have the opportunity to enjoy freedom, I hope recovery has something to do with them,” he said. “Don’t think it’s my recovery – it’s a recovery for the family. It’s a family tragedy.”

The board asked him about his time and legal issues in prison, including being involved in two burglaries. He said his time in prison helped him develop a “moral guardrail.”

The team also examined factors such as his health status and whether he posed a danger to society if released from prison. The risk assessment conducted on him found that it was a “moderate” risk if he was released.

They reviewed the schools and active programs he was involved in in prison, as well as his illegal acts during critical periods, including prison fights and were found several times in contraband. Behind the bar, he was in trouble with his cell phone, art supplies and tobacco – he hid in a religious book.

The decision to leave Erik in prison is separated from Lyle, who will appear before a different parole board panel on Friday morning.

Explaining their decision, the board made it clear that Eric’s behavior in prison and his previous burglary were important factors in his denial. They also cite the cruel nature of the killing, calling it “no human sympathy.”

Although many of the cases of the Menendez brothers involved two brothers, their actions were in prison and before the 1989 murders occurred, they might have made different decisions from the state’s parole board.

A coalition of relatives at Thursday’s hearing Long-standing advocate for the release of brotherssupporters also testified on behalf of Erik, saying he had changed during his long sentence.

Jose Menendez’s sister Teresita Menendez-Baralt cried while talking in front of the group, telling them she forgave Erik’s killing of her brother and the trauma he caused to his family.

She said she was dying from stage 4 cancer.

“The truth is, I don’t know how much time I have left. If Eric is on parole, it would be a blessing.” “I wish I could live long enough to welcome him into my home, sit at the same table, wrap my arms around him – it would bring me immeasurable peace and joy.”

The brothers’ high-profile murder trial was defined in the last century.

During their trial, the brothers claimed that the killing was self-defense and said they had suffered years of emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.

However, prosecutors argued that they were greedy, titled “Monsters”, they orchestrated the murders and then lied to authorities, while spending $700,000 (£526,000) and buying including new Porsches, Jeeps and Rolex watches, and buying them along with their parents’ real estate.

They were not arrested until the police accepted the psychologists.

Thirty years later, due to new evidence, the focus on Tiktok, Netflix’s drama series Monsters: The stories of Lyle and Erik Menendez and celebrities re-examine the case in the public.

But the movement in court did not take place until the former Los Angeles prosecutor revisited the case and asked a judge to re-sentence, and sentenced in California’s growing juvenile offenders and abuse of survivors.

Changes in state law have resulted in offenders under the age of 26 at the time of the crime being sentenced to minors rather than adults. Lyle was 21 years old and Erik was only 18 when he killed his parents.

Although new Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman fights resentful efforts, the judge may reduce his sentence to 50 years with the possibility of parole.

Hochman accused Erik of continuing to “express narcissistic and antisocial traits” and his office argued in court both Erik and Lyle’s release.
