What to Know

  • Lyle Menendez went before a California parole board panel to learn whether he will remain in prison for the 1989 shotgun murders of his parents.
  • The elder Menendez brother’s parole hearing came 36 years and two days after the murders at the family’s Beverly Hills mansion.
  • Younger brother Erik Menendez was denied parole Thursday after a 10-hour hearing where he faced tough questions about his criminal past and time in prison.
  • With his parole being denied, there are still two paths to freedom: clemency granted by the governor and a court petition that cites new evidence in the decades-old case.
  • The path to the parole hearings was cleared when the brothers, serving life prison sentences without possibility of parole, were resentenced to 50 years to life.
  • The hearing lasted for more than 11 hours as it began after 9 a.m. and ended past 8 p.m.

Lyle Menendez was denied for parole Friday a day after the same decision came down for his younger brother Erik Menendez.
