Lyle Menendez was denied parole just like his brother, Erik Menendez. Find out why the court decided to reject Lyle here.
Lyle Menendez has been denied parole one day after his younger brother, Erik Menendez, had the same result. The brothers, who fatally shot their parents, Kitty and José Menendez in 1989, were initially sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But that changed earlier this year during a May resentencing hearing when a judge made them eligible for parole. Supporters are still rallying around the Menendez brothers and advocating for their release, as many wonder why Lyle and Erik were denied a chance to walk free.

Like his younger brother, Lyle was denied parole. The board informed Lyle that they rejected his possibility for parole because there “are still signs” that he is a risk to the public, Parole Commissioner Julie Garland said during the Friday, August 22 hearing, according to multiple outlets.
