Lyle Menendez denied parole after 35 years in prison for parents’ shotgun murders

Lyle Menendez, imprisoned 35 years ago with his brother Erik for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents at their Beverly Hills home, was denied parole on Friday, a day after the same decision was rendered against his younger sibling.

The ruling was announced by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the parent agency of the state Board of Parole Hearings, at the end of an 11-hour-plus proceeding.

Parole commissioners assigned to the case concluded there were still signs that Lyle Menendez, 57, would pose a risk to the public if released from custody.

His younger brother, Erik Menendez, 54, was denied parole following a similar 10-hour session on Thursday. The two may re-apply within three years.

The brothers were convicted of first-degree murder in a trial three decades ago that drew intense national media attention and became the subject of a Netflix series.
