Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Lyle Menendez was denied parole on Friday night in San Diego, one day after his younger brother Erick's freedom was rejected by two commissioners in the deaths 36 years ago of their parents.
Lyle Menendez's hearing began Friday morning and lasted 11 hours after the parole board said that Erik Menendez, 54, poses an "unreasonable risk." Lyle is three years older.
The same parole commissioners heard the cases.
They will be eligible for parole again in three years. They have separate and ongoing court proceedings to seek to overturn their sentences, which originally were life without parole but were dropped to 50 years to life by a judge three months ago.
