Menendez Brothers' New Trial Denied: Parole Hopes Dashed Again

Imagine two brothers, Erik and Lyle Menendez, who killed their parents a long time ago.

They were hoping to get out of jail early, but a judge said no.

They claimed they were abused and shot their parents in self-defense.

But, the judge didn't think their new evidence changed anything because the murder seemed planned.

This means they won't get a new trial.

They can't get parole either, so they have to wait at least another year and a half for another chance at parole.

Now they hope that the governor will let them out.
