Lyle Menndez joins a brother, refusing a conditional release in La Killing of parents

Lyle Menendes was denied conditional release one day after his brother Eric was similarly blocked by prison release after more than three decades.

The Menendes brothers, who were sentenced to the killings of their parents in 1989 at their Beverly Hills mansion, were rejected for release after separate, prolonged hearing before the release of release from California.

He marks a great failure for the couple, who saw the last victories in court, which approach them closer than ever to freedom.

The older brother Menendes, a 57 -year -old, who has long been represented as a dominant brother, can try again for the conditional release of a hearing in three years.

The ominous murders of their parents, Jose and Kiti Menendes and the subsequent trials were among the criminal cases that set the last century.

During their tests, the brothers claim that the killings were committed in self -defense after years of sexual and emotional abuse by their father, who were said to have been activated by their mother.

However, prosecutors say they are greedy entitled monsters who thoroughly planned the killings, after which they lied to the authorities investigating the case while they were worth $ 700,000 (526,000 British pounds), which were scheduled to use the money they inherited.

Lyle, long considered the dominant brother, who initially told police that he believed that his parents’ brutal death was mafia work. He also created complex stories in which people were involved who lie to him to conceal their participation.

The couple were not arrested until police received a message about their confessions to a psychologist.

“I’m deeply sorry about who I am … about the harm they have suffered,” Lyle told the board. “I will never be able to compensate the harm and grief I have caused to everyone in my family. I’m sorry for everyone and I will regret forever.”

Lyle has been confronted with a different composition of commissioners for conditional release from his brother who Was refused release from prison on Thursday After such a long hearing.

Like his brother, Lyle also appeared practically to listen to San Diego Prison, where he settled. The production extended to more than 10 hours and ended after the sun flooded into Los Angeles.

The panel examined whether Lyle poses a risk to society if he was released and examined his life before his killings and his time in prison. He asked for his time as a student at Princeton University and how he was accused of plagiarism and, as a result, was suspended, as well as for breach of acceleration and allegations of burglary.

They also asked questions about moments from the killings, what led to the killings and his motivation.

The panel repeatedly raises its illegal use on a mobile phone in prison, which they said it seems to have been almost constant for years. Commissioner Patrick Reardon, a member of the group, asked whether he should give such a weight to all the positive things he does in prison – like his school and programs he creates for prisoners – when he constantly violates the rules.

The panel noted that he pleaded guilty to a violation of the mobile phone recently in March this year.

Although there was a tablet that he was allowed to use, he said he was still using mobile phones because it gives him more confidentiality.

Mobile phones are prohibited in prisons and are considered as corrosive as drugs in the prison environment because of fears that they can be additional criminal activities such as moving drugs, intimidation of witnesses and even organizing escapes. All communications, while behind bars, are observed, except for the conversations about a lawyer.

“I would never be called a liberty -deprived model. I would say that I was a good person, spending my time helping people. I’m very open and accept,” Lyle told the Council on Friday, noting that he did a lot to help vulnerable prisoners.

“I am the person to whom the officers will come to resolve conflicts,” he said, describing himself as a “peacemaker”.

He graduated with a specialty while in prison and is currently in the process of receiving his master’s master’s degree. Lyle is also praised for the mentoring of other prisoners, with his job helping others who have survived with sexual abuse and a beauty program that helped to launch.

Risk assessment before hearing found that Lyle would face a “moderate risk” of violence if he was released and noted that he had antisocial features, as well as the features of right, fraud, manipulation and problems with the adoption of consequences, citing his use of his mobile phone in prison.

The brothers’ hike to freedom is not over yet, as anyone can reappear in front of the board, anyone after three more years.

Conditional release refusals will focus on the focus toward California Governor Gavin NewoWho separately considers a request for reconciliation from them.

The assistance can come in the form of a reduced sentence or even pardon. Weighing such a high and controversial case can be politically risky for Newsom, who said he was considering presidential running.

In addition to the request of the pardon, the brothers also want a new process in the light of newly discovered evidence, claiming that sexual abuse of childhood by their father.

The judge is considering this request, but opposes Los Angeles District Prosecutor’s Office.

During the hearing on Friday, prosecutor Ethan Millius lobbying against the release of Lyle. He questioned whether “real” had taken account of his behavior and indicated Lyle’s inability to “follow the basic rules while in a highly structured setting.”

“No growth. It just looks like Lyle,” Mili said. “When you look at it, Lyle has a long -documented lies story to avoid the consequences of his own actions.”

A coalition of relatives who have long overlap for them, as well as supporters, also attended the hearing on Friday and spoke on his behalf. Some of them refused to speak after his brother’s hearing audio was released on a media outcome, which prompted anger by lawyers and a dramatic pause in discussions.

Lyle Eileen Cano’s cousin, who also talks to the group during Eric’s hearing on Thursday, said he was amazed at how much Lyle had achieved, even though he was faced with life in prison without conditional release.

“While most people surrender to the lubricating weight of prison life, Lyle rose above him,” she said.

“Lyle will not be a risk to the community because we as a family will hold it responsible,” she continued. “The delay in his release would not serve any purpose. Lyle is not the person who went to prison 35 years ago.”
