PAROLE DENIED

shoekitty — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 04:19:08 GMT

Parole was denied for Eric Menendez a few hours ago. Wow, it was a 10 hour video hearing. Some reasons were killing of his mother. The robberies he did before murders, and he hasn't been a model prisoner. I don't know about Lyle. Anyone hear anything else, or new info? He can apply again in 3 years

ETAI was surprised by reading news further of his drug use in prison, fights, being involved in a prison tax scam, his use of a contraband cell phone for porn, YouTube and other things.

Good grief...I lived in Los Angeles during the original trial. Those "boys" killed their parents with a shotgun...FOR THEIR MONEY...

IMHO, I don't know why it was even being considered. They killed their parents in cold blood..They were old enough to leave the home but chose to stay for the money. I could care less what happens to them in jail. Empathy is for those who suffer a loss at the hands of these sick individuals.

All that talk abut their frontal lobe not being developed when they committed the crime.

I'm disappointed with the decision.

That is good news. Neither one of them should ever, ever, get out of prison.

No matter what, they were NOT little children when they committed these horriific crimes -- the brutal murders of their parents! Their parents may not have been good people but they had options - options that did NOT involve cold blooded murders!

They were and are spoiled, entitled people who decided they wanted rid of their parents so they could have all the money, etc. of their parents, and so they did not have to wait until the natural deaths of their parents to get it all.

i don’t even know why their parole should be considered at all. it was premeditated murder. if you allow them that privilege, then all murderers with the same offense should be allowed a chance at a hearing. it’s ridiculous. of course his defense team say him and his brother were model inmates and just look at all the good they did inside prison.

@shoekitty Early this morning on whatever news station was playing on my TV, I heard there are differences between the brothers' actions while in prison and they will be heard by a different parole board.

That's all I know and I haven't ever allowed myself to get as involved as I would have if I had to serve on a jury. Glad not to be a part of such a sad situation, happy not to have known that whole family.

In some ways, I feel sorry for the brothers. They were sexually and physically abused before the murders. That changes someone forever.

On the other hand, not being a model (or close to) prisoner would make me very nervous about granting parole. No surprise parole wasn't granted.

Interesting, we'll see what happens with Lyle next.

Re: PAROLE DENIED

willowbark — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 13:20:01 GMT

This was premeditated murder as both had purchased a shotgun and each used theirs in the killing of their parents. News stated their motive was their father disinherited them while they said it was self defense for sexual abuse. Also, it was reported that one of them used a computer to change their father's will. Half the family wants them released but on the mother's side they do not.

Wonderful decision. Hopefully, Lyle will be denied as well.

Listening to what he said is disgusting. Still blaming his victims. They need to die in Prison.

GREAT news! The parole board made the RIGHT decision. Hopefully, Lyle will also be denied. NEITHER of them should EVER get out of prison.
