BBC News, Los Angeles
California Correction and Rehabilitation DepartmentErik Menendez, California’s Conditional Evacuation Board after the offer of freedom was released after the conditional evacuation.
Both of the wealthy parents in Beverly Hills, the 1989 hunting rifle murders convicted of two malicious Menendez brothers who were convicted of the first objection before the Conditional Evacuation Board made the first objection.
His brother Lyle is scheduled to face his own conditional evacuation hearing on Friday. Both brothers were angered by a judge in May, and after Parolated was made suitable for release.
Erik Menendez can try conditional evacuation again at another hearing within three years.
Freedom proposal is not over. Deny will shift to Gov Gavin Newsom, who mulls separately from the brothers.
Satisfaction may come in the form of a reduced sentence or even amnesty, but did not overthrow the brothers’ conviction. To focus on such a high -profile and controversial case can be politically risky for Newsom, which is thought to be a possible contestant for the President.
Apart from conditional evacuation and Clemency, the brothers also asked for a new hearing because additional evidence was discovered in the case.
A judge eliminates the request, but opposes the Los Angeles regional lawyer’s office.
During the hearing, a prosecutor from the Regional Prosecutor defended the release of Erik and said that positive changes in his behavior were motivated only with the chance to release. They argued that there was still an irrational risk for society ve and had no idea about their crimes.
Erik appeared for a hearing from San Diego prison, where he wore a blue prison overalls and glasses. The members of the family, their lawyers and a prosecutor from the Los Angeles Regional Prosecutor’s Office took part in a video meeting with the Conditional Evacuation Board panel.
During the hearing almost all day, the panel asked him about the murders, his relationship with his parents, and attempts to cover the crime in the murders. Sometimes he became emotional, his family told the moments when he opened fire on Jose and Kitty Menendez, with a shotgun watching television in Beverly Hills mansions.
The brothers hit the couple more than a dozen, even the plum reinstated the gun and continued to shoot at his mother. He and his brother claimed to defend himself for a long time and said they had been sexually abused.
“I want my family to understand that I am very sorry for what I put from August 20, 1989 to this day and for this hearing,” Erik said during the hearing before recognizing his fate.
“If I get the chance to freedom, I want recovery to be about them,” he said. “Don’t think about my healing – this is the healing of the family. This is a family tragedy.”
The Board questioned him the legal problems before the prison and before the murders, including being included in two thefts. He said that his time in prison helped him develop “moral railing”.
The panel also examined factors such as health and whether there would be a danger for society if released from prison. A risk assessment for him found it as a “moderate” risk if he was released.
California Ministry of CorrectionThey reviewed the school and positive programs in prison with their transitions, including prison fights and leaks, while locked. When he was behind the pieces, he had a problem because he had a mobile phone, art supplies and tobacco, where he was hiding in a religious book.
For a long time, a relative coalition and supporters who have been advocating the release of the brothers also spoke in front of the Board of Directors and proved that Erik had changed during their long sentence.
Jose Menendez’s sister Teresita Menendez-Baralt said that she was drowned in tears while talking before the panel and forgiven Erik for killing her brother and forgiven for years.
The fourth stage said he died of cancer.
“The truth is, I don’t know how long I left. “I hope he would invite him to my house, sit on the same table and wrap my arms around him – that would bring me an unreasonable peace and joy.”
The brothers’ high -profile murder cases were among those who identified the last century.
During their essays, the brothers claimed that the murders were made in defense and said that their parents had experienced emotional and sexual abuse for years.
Nevertheless, the prosecutors argued that the monsters, who meticulously planned the murders, screamed $ 700,000 (£ 526.0000), while a new Porsche, Jeep and Rolex watches, including purchases of their parents’ real estate.
The police were not arrested until they said they had accepted a psychologist.
Thirty years later, the case was re -examined by a mixture of new evidence, Netflix’s drama series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and celebrities.
However, the movement in the courts, Los Angeles’s former supreme prosecutor, re -examined the case and asked for a judge to re -back them, California’s approach to child criminals and survivors of abuse, he said.
A change in state law allows criminals to be sentenced to small than adults rather than adults. Lyle was 21 years old and when they killed their plum parents, he was 18 years old.
Although the new LA regional lawyer Nathan Hochman fought against his efforts to revive, a judge lived in a lifetime with the possibility of conditional release his sentences.
Hochman accused Erik of continuing to exhibit narcissistic and antisocial characteristics ve and his office strongly discussed both Erik and Lyle’s release in court.
