What next for Menendez brothers after parole bids rejected
Lyle and Erik Menendez were found guilty of killing their parents in 1989 and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. In 2025, they were denied release on parole due to concerns over public safety and their behavior in prison. A judge made them eligible for parole after a resentencing hearing, allowing them to try again in three years. The case gained renewed interest following the release of a Netflix drama in 2024, shedding light on the brothers' claims of abuse and generating debate on their potential release and clemency.
