But she emphasized that parole required rule compliance regardless of incentives. \u201cCitizens are expected to follow the rules whether or not there is some incentive to do so,\u201d Garland said.<\/p>\n<p>The Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1996 after two separate juries convicted them of murdering their parents on August 20, 1989.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors argued they acted out of greed to secure an inheritance, while the defense maintained the brothers killed in self-defense after years of sexual and physical abuse.<\/p>\n<p>A judge earlier this year reduced their sentences, making them eligible for parole for the first time. The hearings this week represented the closest the brothers have come to possible release in nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>During Friday\u2019s hearing, Lyle Menendez described physical abuse by his father and alleged sexual abuse by both parents. He grew emotional when discussing his mother, saying her death caused him greater remorse. \u201cI loved her and couldn\u2019t imagine harming her in any way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Menendez admitted to buying the weapons used in the killings but denied planning the crime in advance. Commissioners pressed him on what they described as deception and manipulation after the murders, including attempts to conceal evidence and destroy his father\u2019s will.<\/p>\n<p>Defence attorney Heidi Rummel argued the panel placed too much focus on the original crime and rule violations, and not enough on Menendez\u2019s accomplishments in prison. She noted he has avoided violence behind bars, started mentorship programs, and maintained sobriety.<\/p>\n<p>More than a dozen relatives attended the hearing via videoconference, though few spoke publicly. One aunt voiced her support: \u201cI want my nephew to hear how much I love him, and believe in him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The panel acknowledged Menendez has been assessed as \u201cvery low risk\u201d for violence if released.<\/p>\n<p>Still, commissioners determined his continued use of contraband phones, most recently in March 2025, undermined his rehabilitation claims.<\/p>\n<p>Menendez said he turned to phones to protect his privacy, alleging correctional officers were selling details of his communications with his wife.<\/p>\n<p>The Menendez brothers are pursuing a separate habeas corpus petition seeking review of their convictions based on new evidence they say supports their abuse allegations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2lOHmNj<br \/>\n\u2022 Get breaking news and more stories at http:\/\/www.itv.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>Follow ITV News on TikTok https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itvnews?lang=en<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on X: https:\/\/twitter.com\/itvnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lyle Menendez was denied parole Friday, one day after his younger brother Erik\u2019s request for release was also rejected.
