Mark Geragosattorney represent Erik and Lyle MenendezSpeaking out after their respective parole applications were rejected.
“It was clearly rigging,” Geragos, 67, claimed during the appearance of Saturday, August 23, Tmz“2 Angry Men” podcast. “It was unbelievable what like *** showed this.”
Erik, 54, and Lyle, 57 guilty of first -degree murder In 1996 after admitting to killing their parents nearly 10 years earlier. Although the siblings claimed that their actions were out of self-defense following years of abuse, they were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Erik Menendez’s wife, Tammi Menendez, called his parole denial of “complete setup” and “injustice.” “Parole Commissioner Robert Barton was thought to deny Erik parole from the beginning! This was a complete setup, and Erik never stood a chance!

Geragos stressed that he had no proof that the hearings were actually rigged but argued that Erik and Lyle should have been good candidates for parole.
“It was a Kabuki theater,” he claimed, referring to the traditional art form of Japan. “(If) You remember during the rescheduling hearing (be) that all kinds of shenanigans from the parole board to the point where the judge … actually stood up on the bench and on the record and said, ‘This is stupid.’
According to Geragos, there was the alleged attempt of the parole commissioners to change the post-redemption risk assessment “beyond the pale.”
Erik’s wife, Tamm. Share similar criticism After her husband’s hearing on Thursday.
“The mind of parole commissioner Robert Barton was to deny Erik Parole from the beginning,” he claimed in post X. “This was a complete setup, and Erik never stood a chance! #Injustice.”
