Lyle Menendez joins brother in being denied parole in parents' murder | BBC News

Lyle Menendez has been denied parole one day after his brother Erik was similarly blocked from being freed from prison after more than three decades. The Menendez brothers, who were convicted in the 1989 killings of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion, were both rejected for release after separate, lengthy hearings before California's parole board. It marks a major setback for the pair who had seen recent court wins that brought them closer than ever to freedom.
