Erik denies freedom after Lyle Menendez faces California parole board | California

Lyle Menendez will face California His brother is on parole board Denied freedom Killing parents in California mansion and sentenced to 30 years in jail in the case of killing parents.

Two panels California Commissioners denied Erik Menendez’s three-year parole after he would be eligible again, in which case continues to fascinate the public. His brother Lyle Menendez’s parole hearing is scheduled for Friday morning.

Commissioners determined that Menandez should not be released after a full-day hearing, during which time they asked why he committed the crime and violated the prison rules. Despite their strong support from their families, they refused parole and they advocated that the brothers be released for several months.

The Menendez brothers were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1996 for killing their father José Menendez and mother Kitty Menendez in 1989 at their mansion in Beverly Hills. Defense attorneys argued that the brothers acted out of self-defense after years of sexual abuse by their father, and prosecutors said the brothers killed their parents with millions of dollars in inheritance.

Erik Menendez was denied parole by the California board on Thursday, which said he continued to be misbehaving for decades of murdering his parents with his brother in 1989, indicating that he still has public safety risks.

Commissioner Robert Barton said: “Two things may be true. They can love and forgive you, and you can still find that you are not suitable for parole.”

Patton said the main reason for the decision was not the seriousness of the crime, but Erik Menendez’s behavior in prison. Patton told Erik Menendez that repeated use of the phone was “selfish”, and Erik Menendez thought the rules didn’t apply to him, and he told Erik Menendez that he had obviously suffered a noticeable injury to the decision, but he listened intently.
