Erik Menéndez Denied Parole Following Bid For Freedom
HuffPost
The possibility of release became a reality when he and his brother were resentenced for the 1989 murders of their parents back in May.
One of the Menéndez brothers’ high-profile bids for freedom has been rejected.
During a nearly 10-hour-long Thursday hearing for Erik Menéndez, the California parole board denied his request for release, the Los Angeles Times has reported.
His brother Lyle Menéndez will see if he’s been handed the same fate on Friday.
Nearly three decades ago, the siblings were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 1989 murders of their parents at their Beverly Hills mansion.
Prosecutors argued it was a cold-blooded murder, done to secure their multimillion-dollar inheritance. The brothers maintained it was an act of self-defense following years of sexual abuse by their father.
