Lyle Menendez denied parole after brother’s denial the day before

Layl Mindez, 57, was deprived of a conditional release on Friday at the initial initial hearing, a day after his younger brother Eric also rejected his attempt to release him from San Diego prison, where the two spent nearly 35 years. The committee, which decided to remain, decided to be imprisoned for at least another three years.

The Conditional High Commissioner highlighted both the seriousness of the crime of the brothers of 1989 and the behavior of Lael in prison. During the hearing, Commissioner Garland stressed that the behavior of the night still shows signs of risk to the public. She pointed out that while Lael participated in the programs and maintained positive relations with the employees and his colleagues in the prisoners, he continues to struggle with the anti -society features, including deception, reduce the base, and break the rules.

“Citizens are expected to follow the rules, whether there are some incentives to do this or not,” said Garland. She also stressed the importance of continuing to show the person who shows himself as managing programs for other inmates. She added: “There is never any hope … This denial is not … It is not the end. It is a way for you to spend time to demonstrate, to practice what you preach from you, and who you want to be.”

The listening sessions were the closest issued by the Manendez brothers since the judge reduced the penalty of life in May, making them immediately qualified to review the conditional release. On Thursday, the Eric Mendez session ended with commissioners’ refusal to release him for three years.

They cited repeated violations of government, including mobile violations, and described his behavior as “selfish” and “annoying”. “There can be two correct things. They can love and forgive you, and you can still find a conditional release,” said Commissioner Robert Barton Eric.

In 1996, the Mainndez brothers were convicted of killing their parents, Jose and Kitie Mindez, inside their palace Beverly Hills on August 20, 1989. Prosecutors argued that they acted to reach the inheritance by billions of dollars, while the defense lawyer claimed that they had been responding for years of sexual assault by their father. The jury sided with the prosecutors.

After the killings, the Brotherhood began a heavy tunnels, the purchase of luxury cars, watches and trips abroad, and in the Night case, New Jersey Restaurant. They were arrested in 1990 after Eric confessed to his treatment.

During the Eric session, Commissioners described the murders in flagrant phrases, especially the killing of “Like the Exile”, Kiti Mainndes. “The killing of your mother in particular showed the lack of sympathy and mind,” Barton said.

Garland was similarly reflected on the circular and cruel actions during the crime, including the last shot that was called Kitty. She cited his weak perception of the threat regarding their father, and the brothers’ efforts to cover up the murders were highlighted by lying to the police and avoiding the prosecution.

Despite these results, Garland admitted the youth of the brotherhood at the time of the crime, noting that Lael was less than 26 years old and was severely affected by a dysfunctional environment created by their father. He praised the positive steps he took in prison, including the participation of the program and the efforts made to direct other inmates.

After nearly 35 years, the Manendez issue is still one of the most exciting Parricide experiences in the twentieth century. Friday’s ruling means that both brothers are behind the bit, leaving the calls of supporters to forgive again without an answer.

The family issued a statement after the hearing, saying: “While we are disappointed, of course, from today’s decision as well, we do not encourage us. A conditional release process is exceptionally strict, but we are incredibly proud to do Erik and Liel – with no review, with custom, we take a long time. It will continue to lead programs, and build programs that support rehabilitation and hope for others.
