“The panel has found today that there are still signs” Menendez is a potential risk to the public, declared Parole Commissioner Julie Garland and Deputy Parole Commissioner Patrick Reardon to the older Menendez brother as he participated via video feed from the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego.
After hours and hours of questioning and some chaos, the conclusion Friday by the two-person parole board brings to an end at least for the next few years, the Menendez brothers’ hard fought battle the past 18 months to get out of prison after being sentenced to life without parole back in 1996 after two trials.
Like his brother Erik, who can’t apply for another parole hearing until 2028, Lyle Menendez can seek a review of Friday’s decision based on factual inaccuracies that may impact the final outcome — but the success of such a move could be a long shot. As it stands right now Lyle Menendez can’t reapply for parole for 36 months.

so why is Gypsy Rose out on the street!!? Lyle and Erik are reformed and deserving of a second chance!!
I’m not surprised considering how his brother’s hearing went yesterday.
> Looking over the risk assessment report on Menendez being at a “moderate risk” of violence if let out on parole, Garland at one point late Friday, bluntly said that she thought the actual record of his various prison violations like having an illegal phone, were much more “deceitful” and intentional than he was letting on in the hearing.
I also don’t know how the inner workings of a prison work, but I wonder how nefarious this illegal phone could be.
Sad to hear this. They deserve a second chance. This thing of making them go over everything again and again and then delaying things is just cruel. Pretty pathetic we have a bunch of dirty greasy slimeballs getting pardoned or worse, no punishment, and free to walk the streets. Yet abuse victims are stuck.
