Lyle Menendez joins brother in being denied parole in parents' LA murder

Lyle Menendez, convicted in the 1989 murders of his parents alongside his brother Erik, has been denied parole by the California parole board. The decision, following a lengthy hearing, highlighted concerns about his risk to society, including issues with deception, minimization, and rule-breaking, particularly stemming from his illicit cell phone use in prison. While the brothers can seek parole again in three years, their quest for freedom may ultimately rest with California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is weighing a clemency request amidst ongoing legal battles and requests for a new trial based on claims of childhood abuse.
