Erik Menendez was denied parole by a California board on Thursday that said his continued misbehaviour during decades in prison for murdering his parents with his older brother in 1989 showed he is still a risk to public safety.
Menendez will be eligible again for parole in three years, a panel of two commissioners decided. A parole hearing for his brother Lyle Menendez, who is being held at the same prison in San Diego, is scheduled for Friday morning.
