According to California’s parole board, Erik Menendez has been denied parole despite strong community support for his release. Per the ruling, the board claims that Menendez has not always been a model prisoner.
The decision to deny Menendez’s petition came after a 10-hour teleconference on Thursday. Lyle Menendez’s hearing is scheduled for Friday. It has been about 36 years since the pair killed their parents Jose and Kitty Mene Des in a pair of shocking murders that rattled Beverly Hills.
On Erik’s part he had received numerous violations behind bars in 1997 and 2011.
