Erik Menendez has been denied parole after serving decades in prison for killing his parents. His brother Lyle will be next to get a chance to plead his case in front of a panel of California state parole board commissioners. The brothers were sentenced to life in 1996 for fatally shooting their father and mother in their Beverly Hills mansion in August 1989. For years after their convictions, the brothers filed petitions for appeals of their cases that were denied. They became eligible for parole after a Los Angeles judge reduced their sentences in May.
