The Menendez brothers have been blocked from being freed from prison after more than three decades. Lyle and Erik were convicted in the 1989 killings of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. In a resentencing hearing in May, a judge made them eligible for parole, but this week both brothers were denied release. California's parole board told Erik he still posed a risk to public safety and had not been a model prisoner. A day later, a different board cited Lyle's lack of self-control and the signs that he still employs poor decision making. It marks a major setback for the pair who had seen recent court wins that brought them closer than ever to freedom. Tap the link in BBCNews's bio to see if they could ever be released.
