What’s next for the Menendez brothers? Here’s how soon Lyle and Erik could walk free

What’s next for the Menendez brothers? Here’s how soon Lyle and Erik could walk free
SHARE

The Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, have been in prison for over 30 years for the brutal murders of their parents in 1989. However, there is a possibility that they could soon be eligible for parole and even released in the coming weeks.

Recently, a judge in the Los Angeles County Superior Court reduced their sentences from “life without parole” to “50 years to life” for the killings of José and Kitty Menendez. This decision opens up the opportunity for the brothers to be considered for parole, leaving their fate in the hands of the state parole board and Governor Gavin Newsom.

The parole board has already been conducting evaluations and reviewing the brothers’ time in prison as part of a separate clemency petition. A final hearing was scheduled for June, after which the board is expected to make a recommendation to Governor Newsom. If the board counts this work towards an ordinary parole assessment, Lyle and Erik could potentially be released as early as this summer.

There are two possible outcomes for the brothers’ freedom – either the state board grants them parole, or Governor Newsom grants them clemency even if the board denies their parole. However, there is also a possibility that the board grants them parole but Governor Newsom decides to keep them incarcerated.

The board will consider various factors when assessing whether to grant parole, including the brothers’ risk to society and their insight into the crimes they committed. Lyle and Erik have admitted that killing their parents was wrong and have expressed remorse, but they have also claimed it was in self-defense after years of alleged abuse by their father.

Despite some negative aspects of their prison records, such as drug use and entitlement issues, the brothers have received positive recommendations from prison officials and fellow inmates for their volunteer work. This includes participating in programs for elderly and disabled inmates and a greenspace initiative for the prison yard.

As the state parole board and Governor Newsom deliberate on the Menendez brothers’ fate, the chances of their release have never been higher. The decision will ultimately determine whether Lyle and Erik will finally walk free after more than three decades behind bars.
