Lyle Menendez faces parole board a day after brother Erik is denied
Lyle Menendez, who along with Erik Menendez has been imprisoned for decades for the 1989 murder of their parents, will face a California parole board on Aug. 22, the day after his brother was denied his own bid for freedom.
The board ruled on Aug. 21 that Erik Menendez, 54, was not eligible for parole after a nearly 10-hourlong hearing to decide whether he posed a threat to the public if released from prison. The Menendez brothers were made newly eligible for parole consideration when they were resentenced to 50 years to life in prison under California's youthful offender statutes – the brothers were 18 and 21 at the time of the murders.
California Board of Parole Hearings Commissioner Robert Barton said that Erik Menendez continued to pose "an unreasonable risk to public safety."
"Contrary to your supporters' beliefs, you have not been a model prisoner and frankly we find that a little disturbing," Barton told Erik Menendez.
Lyle Menendez, 57, will appear virtually in his own parole hearing from the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, where he is incarcerated. His hearing is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. local time.
