Lyle Menendez Denied Parole, a Day After Brother Erik Was Also Denied
- On August 22, 2025, a two-member parole panel at a correctional institution near San Diego rejected Lyle Menendez's request for release.
- This denial followed Erik Menendez's parole rejection the day before, both influenced by their prison rule violations and assessment of risk to public safety.
- During an emotional hearing, Lyle admitted, "I killed my mom and dad," described childhood sexual abuse, and faced questioning about illegal cellphones in prison.
- Lyle had a total of five rule violations, and although a psychologist assessed him as having minimal likelihood of violent behavior after release, the panel still considered him a possible threat to public safety.
- The denials keep both brothers imprisoned but allow them to seek parole again in three years, while clemency requests and a habeas corpus petition remain pending.
