MEENDEZ brothers feel “hope” on parole after decades in prison

For the first time in decades, Lale and Eric Menendez say they are beginning to feel hope that they can receive parole. This is a shift in thinking for the brothers who spent more than 30 years behind bars for the killings of parents in their house Beverley -Hills.

“My brother and I are cautious,” said 57 -year -old Lale Menendez in a recent interview with TMZ in TMZ, which aired on Fox.

“Hope for the future is a really new thing for us. I think Eric probably would have agreed with that. That’s not what we spent a lot of time,” he added.

The Menenedez brothers were convicted of the first degree in 1996 and sentenced to life without parole for the killings of their parents in 1989, Kitty and Jose Menendez.

The case shocked the nation – not only for the brutal nature of the crime, but also for the drama of the court, which followed.

Their first trial ended in a hanged jury after both brothers talked about sexual abuse, which they claimed, suffered at the hands of their parents, a high -grade leader of the music industry.

But the prosecutors in the second trial raised doubts about these claims, claiming that the brothers acted with greed and wanted to inherit the wealth of the parents. The jury agreed, and the brothers were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

For decades, the brothers have retained their appeals – and recently learned that they would eventually receive a parole.

With this hearing scheduled for June, and the hearing in mid -April, the brothers reflect on how they will lead their lives when free.

“What I want to do in terms of my daily life is a lot of what I do here. I want to be a fan of people who suffer silently,” said 54-year-old Eric Menendez.

“We are not talking about leaving the prison – if we can leave – and without looking back. Our life will be held to work from prison and performing the work we do here,” he added.

Part of the application for parole depends on the assessment assessing whether the brothers are still regarded as threats to society.

The brothers say they have changed in prison.

“I try to be a better person every day and I want to be a man who can be proud of my family,” said Eric Menendez. “Who I have evolved, who I saw how Lille is developing. I start to like myself, proud and believe it is good for me to like.”

During their imprisonment, both Eric and Lale started rehabilitation programs for the disabled and elderly prisoners and taught lessons in the treatment of injuries and meditation.

“Our best moments are the ones that do not talk about, and we just help anyone, either we help the animal, or we make anyone – to smile what feels down, which can go and harm ourselves when we were gone,” said Eric, speaking of his voluntary work in prison.

Despite the future hearing of parole, the future of the brothers – and other possible ways to freedom – remain uncertain.

The district prosecutor of the Los -Andgeles district prosecutor Nathan Hochman has recently recalled the admiration that was filed with his predecessor George Hand, causing it more difficult.

Hochman publicly stated that he would not support the exit of the brothers, although the final decision was resting with the judge.

The move shocked the disputes with the DA office, as two former prosecutors who worked under the Gasconen and advocated the reward of the brothers launched a court case against Hochman – accusing him of persecution, revenge and defamation.

The couple claims that they were lowered from their position in this case – and as a result, they encountered intensive control. Mr Hochman’s office will not comment yet.

Some members of the Meendez family also criticized Mr. Hochman, believing that he allows personal prejudice to influence his actions. Mr. Hochman denies this.

“Hochman does not seem to want to listen and not deal with us,” Brothers Tamara Gudel told us. Ms Gudel accused the prosecutor of dismissing and ignoring the family and “without acting as a neutral party.”

But public opinion remains divided.

In the same special TMZ, Alan Abrahamsan, former Los -Angeles Times reporter, who covered the Menendees tests in the 1990s in the 1990s, said the “two of the most qualified and reached liars”.

“Meendesses are very capable of processing, and being such people who want them,” said Mr. Abrahamson. “And I think this is one of the serious dangers of this discussion that people do not seem to be selected.”

This is the thought shared by the former Bverly -Hills detective, which was intended to investigate the killings at the time.

“This is the most horrifying case of the murder I had,” said Tom Linehan TMZ. He believes that the Menerdes brothers were motivated by the murder who grew up, receiving it.

“If anyone disputes what they want to do, they take them when needed,” Linehan added.

As for the brothers, they should hope that the parole sees everything in another way, so they will continue to fight their court.

“You never know how long you will be blessed to be on earth, so we don’t sit and wait for something,” Lyle said.
