Erik Menendez should not be granted parole 36 years after murdering his parents, the California Board of Parole Hearings has decided.
The decision to deny Menendez, 54, parole eligibility for three years came after a 10-hour hearing conducted over video conference on Thursday.
It was a crushing defeat for Menendez after a long, winding legal battle in which his attorneys and family members had insisted he had been rehabilitated after more than three decades behind bars since the 1989 shotgun slayings of his parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez.
Lyle Menendez, 57, will have his own parole hearing on Friday; he may win the board’s recommendation for parole where his brother failed.
