After all the crime documentaries, after all the pleas by the Menendez family after all the positive media to let them out of prison early, after reduced sentences by judges as reported by The AP, Erik Menendez is denied parole. It would appear that he was not a model inmate while in prison. In the end the parole board stated, "one is still that same dangerous person that they were when they shot-gunned their parents.”
Erik Menendez was denied parole Thursday by a California board that said his continued misbehavior during decades in prison for murdering his parents with his older brother in 1989 showed he is still a risk to public safety.
A panel of two California commissioners denied Menendez parole for three years, after which he will be eligible again, in a case that continues to fascinate the public. A parole hearing for his brother Lyle Menendez, who is being held at the same prison in San Diego, is scheduled for Friday morning.
