Share this @internewscast.com

Lyle Menendez was denied parole Friday, following the 1989 murder 0f his parents in their Beverly Hills home.

The decision comes after a California parole board’s decision to deny his brother, Erik, his bid for freedom on Thursday.

According to FOX News Digital, Lyle Menendez, aged 57, participated in a virtual parole hearing with officials from the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. The discussion was conducted through a video conference.

Parole Commissioner Jule Garland and the panel felt that Lyle Mendez still showed signs of possible risk to the public.

“We find your remorse is genuine,” she said.

“In many respects, you have been an exemplary prisoner. You’ve shown a capacity for transformation,” the board acknowledged.

“Yet, despite these outwardly positive attributes, we observe that you continue to contend with antisocial personality characteristics such as deceit, trivialization, and rule-breaking beneath the surface,” they continued.

Members of the panel brought up a history of Lyle Menendez breaking rules while behind bars, such as multiple infractions concerning cellphone use.

Lyle Menendez’s parole decision came the day after his brother Erik Menendez was also denied release, as CrimeOnline previously reported.

Similarly, Erik Menendez, 54, endured almost a 10-hour session with members of the parole board appointed by the California governor. They reviewed many aspects, including his conduct following the 1989 murders of his parents, José and Kitty Menendez.

“The killing of your mother especially showed a lack of empathy and reason,” Commissioner Robert Barton said.

Barton also said that Menendez’s behavior behind bars played a pivotal role in denying parole.

“Contrary to your supporters’ beliefs, you have not been a model prisoner, and frankly, we find that a little disturbing,” Barton said.

Reports indicate Erik Menendez has committed infractions involving violence, drug smuggling, and improper use of computers, as well as using a cell phone inappropriately while facilitating a rehab group.

CNN notes that both brothers remain hopeful that Governor Gavin Newsom might overturn the parole board’s determination. They have individually petitioned for clemency and a new trial. Additionally, Newsom has the power to reverse the parole board’s decision for both siblings within 30 days, based on an internal review that could extend up to 120 days. Garland mentioned that Lyle Menendez could be eligible for an “administrative review” within a year, potentially advancing the next parole hearing to just 18 months. If the decision is upheld, the brothers could face another parole evaluation in three years.

Newsom also has the authority to overturn the parole board’s decision for both brothers within 30 days after conducting an internal review of the decision, which could run up to 120 days.

Garland stated that Lyle Menendez may be considered for “administrative review” within a year. This could move a second parole hearing up to only 18 months.

If the board’s decision stands, the brothers may be eligible for another parole review in three years.
