Lyle Menendez has been denied parole a day after his younger brother Erik received the same recommendation by a California state board.

Talia’s mother Tammi Menendez exchanged letters with Erik while he was in prison, and the two later started meeting in-person. They got married in 1999 and have been together ever since. Erik later adopted her daughter Talia, who he shares a very close bond with.

Lyle and Erik Menendez have served more than three decades in prison for the murders of their parents in 1989.
