Lale Menendez was denied early release a day after his brother Eric was similarly blocked from being released from prison after more than three decades.
The Meendessa brothers, who were convicted of parents’ killings in 1989 in Bverly -Hills mansion, were dismissed after some, long -term hearings before the parole.
This means a serious failure for the couple who saw recent victories in court that brought them closer to freedom.
Menendez’s older brother, 57, who has long been reflected as a dominant brother, can try the parole at the hearing three years later.
The terrible killings of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, as well as the following trials were one of the criminal cases that determined the last century.
During the lawsuits, the brothers claimed that the killings were committed in self -defense after many years of sexual and emotional violence by the father, who, according to them, were allowed by their mother.
The prosecutors, however, claimed that they were greedy, called monsters who carefully planned the killings, and then lied to the authorities who investigate $ 700,000 ($ 526,000) using the money they inherited.
This is Lale, who has long been considered a dominant brother, who first told the police that he believed that the fierce death of his parents is a crowd. It also made complex stories in which the people who lie for him to cover their involvement.
The couple was not arrested until the police received the word of the psychologist.
“I’m sorry who I was … for the damage that everyone survived,” Lyle said. “I will never be able to harm and grief that I caused everyone in my family. I’m sorry for everyone and I will be sorry.”
Lale encountered another group of the Commissioners Conditionally -Earlier Liberation than his brother who Friday was refused to be released from prison After a similar long hearing.
Like his brother, Lail also appeared practically at the audience from the San Diego prison, where he was placed. The materials lasted to more than 10 hours and ended after the sun came into the Los -Angeles.
The panel examined whether Lale introduced the risk to society when she was released and looked at her life before killings and time in prison. He asked about his time a student at the University of Princeton and how he was accused of plagiarism and rejected as a result, as well as for violation of speed and accusation of theft.
They also asked questions about the moments of the killings, which led to the killings and its motivation.
The panel has repeatedly raised its forbidden use of a mobile phone in a prison, which, according to them, it seems to have almost many years. Commissioner Patrick Reordon, one of the members of the Board, questioned whether to give the weight to all the positive things he did in prison – for example, his training and programs he created for prisoners – if he constantly violates the rules.
The panel noted that he pleaded guilty to violating the cell phone recently in March this year.
Although he had a tablet he was allowed to use, he said he continued to use mobile phones because it gave him more confidentiality.
Mobile phones are prohibited in prisons and are considered as aggressive as drugs in a prison situation for concern that they can even more criminal, such as drug movement, intimidation of witnesses and even organize shoots. All the communications, being behind bars, are controlled, except for conversations about the client’s lawyer.
“I would never call myself a man who is in custody. I would say I was a good man I spent my time, helping people. I am very open and accept,” Lale said on Friday, noting that he had done a lot to help vulnerable prisoners.
“I am a guy who will come to resolve conflicts,” he said, calling himself a “peacekeeper”.
He graduated from the diploma while in prison and is currently in the process of receiving his master. Lale was also approved for the mentoring of other prisoners, his work helped others who survived the sexual cruel treatment and the program of decoration he helped.
The risk assessment made before his hearing revealed that Lille would encounter a “moderate risk” of violence, if he is released and noted that he has antisocial features, as well as traits, deception, manipulation and problems with taking consequences, citing the use of a mobile phone.
The breath’s hike to freedom is not over yet, as anyone can appear again before the council, each three more years.
Refusal to the parole will change the emphasis on California Governor Gavin NewsomWho separately examines from their pardon request.
The room can come in the form of a reduced sentence or even a pardon. Weighing in such a loud and controversial cause can become a politically risky for Newsom, which, as stated, ponders the presidential work.
In addition to the request for pardon, the brothers are also asking a new trial in light of recently disclosed evidence claimed by childhood childhood violence.
The judge ponders this request, but opposes the Los -Angeles district prosecutor’s office.
During the hearings on Friday, Prosecutor Ethan Milius lobbied from Lila’s release. He asked if he had a “real” responsibility for his behavior and pointed to the inability of Lille “to follow the basic rules while in a highly structured setting.”
“There is no growth. The one who seems to be a lil,” Milius said. “When you look at it, Lail has a lot of documented lies to avoid the consequences of your own actions.”
The coalition of the relatives who had long advocated them, as well as the supporters, were also present at the hearing on Friday and spoke on his behalf. Some of them refused to speak after the audio hearing was released into the media, which pushed the anger from the lawyers and the dramatic pause.
Lale Eilel Kano’s cousin, who also made a group during Eric’s hearings on Thursday, told the council that she had been surprised at how much Lale had reached, despite the life imprisonment without parole.
“While most people are given a devastating weight of prison life, Lyle rose above it,” she said.
“Lille will not risk the society because we, as a family, will bring it to justice,” she continued. “The delay of its release will not serve any purpose. Lyle is not a person who went to prison 35 years ago.”
