The judge of California denies the petition of Menendez Brothers for a new trial in 1989 killing their parents

Los Angeles – A judge in California has rejected a request for a new trial for Erik and Lyle Menendez and has closed another possible path to freedom for the brothers who have served in prison for decades for killing their parents in their Beverly Hills Mansion in 1989.

The reigning Monday by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William C. Ryan will only be denied a few weeks after the brothers had been denied conditional release. Ryan denied a petition from May 2023 to request an evaluation of their convictions based on new evidence to support their claims of sexual abuse by their father.

The judge wrote that the new proof that the accusations that the brothers sexually abused and confirms somewhat and confirms somewhat denies does not deny that the couple traded with “premeditated Rade and Breking” when they carried out the murders.

“The proof that is claimed here is not so compelling that it would have resulted in reasonable doubts in the spirit of at least one jury member or supports an imperfect self -defense instruction,” the judge wrote.

An e -mail was sent to Mark Geragos, a lawyer for the brothers, who was looking for comments about the judge’s decision.

A panel of two commissioners on August 22 Lyle Menendez denied a day long conditional release. Commissioners noted that the older brother still showed “antisocial personality characteristics such as deception, minimization and rule fracture that are below that positive surface.”

Erik Menendez, who is held in the same prison in San Diego, was denied in the same way a day before after commissioners had established that his misconduct in prison still made him a risk for public safety.

The brothers were sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for the deadly shooting of their father, Jose Menendez, and mother, Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills-Huishuis almost precisely 36 years ago on August 20, 1989. While defense lawyers claimed that the brothers acted of self-defense after years of their father, one officer, one of them, one of them, one one Multimillion-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar-Dollar, said a multimillion.

A judge reduced his penalties in May and they were immediately eligible for conditional release. The conditional hearings were closest to winning freedom since their beliefs almost 30 years ago.
