Lyle Menendez Also Denied Parole, 1 Day After Brother Erik Menendez Gets Turned Down By Board

Lyle Menendez is being denied parole.

The now 57-year-old has been serving time in prison for the murder of his parents, along with brother Erik Menendez, in San Diego, Calif.

On Thursday (August 21), Erik virtually attended a parole hearing where he was denied parole and release. The next day, Lyle attended his own hearing, where he was also denied, after serving 36 years of their sentence so far.

While the parole commissioner commended Lyle on his behavior in prison, including “lack of violence, his work on programs and his positive relationships with other inmates and staff,” per ABC, he was ultimately denied.

The panel found that there are “still signs” that he poses a risk to the public.

“You have been a model inmate in many ways who has demonstrated the potential for change,” parole commissioner Julie Garland said in the parole hearing. “But despite all those outward positives, we see … you still struggle with anti-social personality traits like deception, minimization and rule-breaking that lie beneath that positive surface.”

The commissioner also told Lyle to stay hopeful and to be the person he shows other inmates he runs programs for.

Lyle is not eligible for parole again for another three years, but he will be considered for an administrative review within a year, which could bump up his next hearing to as soon as 18 months.

“The process for parole is exceptionally rigorous, but we are incredibly proud of how Erik and Lyle showed up — with honesty, accountability, and integrity,” the Mendendez brothers’ family said in a statement. “We know they will take time to reflect on the Board’s recommendations and will continue to lead, mentor, and build programs that support rehabilitation and hope for others. We know they are good men who have done the work to rehabilitate and are remorseful. We love them unconditionally and will continue to stand by them.”
