Erik Menendez, serving a life sentence alongside his brother Lyle for the 1989 murders of their parents, has been denied parole, officials confirmed this week. The California parole board ruled that Erik, now in his early 50s, remains unsuitable for release despite more than three decades behind bars. The Menendez case, one of the most infamous family murder trials in U.S. history, continues to draw public attention, especially after renewed interest from documentaries and dramatizations.
