8:22Now PlayingA California parole board panel on Friday, Aug. 22 voted to reject the release of Lyle Menendez, who, alongside his brother Erik, has spent more than 35 years behind bars for the murders of their parents in 1989.
In a separate parole hearing just a day ago, Erik Menendez was denied release. Commissioners cited his behavior in prison, including the use of a cellphone, as the primary reason for the denial.
Because parole was denied, the panel must provide a reason for the denial and set a new hearing date.
The proposed decision of the hearing panel is not final until it goes through a review process by the Board of Parole Hearings.
If there is a tie, the full board will review the transcript and records to determine the outcome.
If the parole grant stands, it is then sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom for final approval.
The brothers are serving life sentences without parole for the murder of their parents, Jose and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez, in 1989.
Erik, then 18, and Lyle, then 21, claimed that the murders came after their father — the chief operating officer of RCA Records — sexually abused them for years and their mother ignored the abuse. They have maintained that they feared for their lives and that José had threatened to kill them if they told anyone about the alleged sexual abuse.
