On Thursday, parole commissioners told Eric Menandage that despite strong family support, their conduct in custody – with frequent cellphone violations – showed that he was not ready to follow the rules.
Commissioner Robert Barton said, “Unlike the beliefs of your supporters, you are not a model prisoner.”
The panel ordered Eric to remain disorganized for at least three more years. This decision shook him blindly, even listened to Barton carefully, who said: “Two things can be true. They can love and forgive you, and you can still be found inappropriate for parole.”
The hearing for both brothers was the closest to release since the sentence of his life. Was reduced In May, he was made eligible for review.
The Menandez brothers were convicted for killing their parents, Jose and Kitty Menandez on August 20, 1989 in 1996.

After the murders, the brothers included in a race for spending, luxury cars, watches, trips abroad and, in the case of lyl, in a new jersey restaurant. He was arrested in 1990 after Eric confessed to his doctor.
At Thursday’s hearing, Barton outlined the cruel nature of the crime, especially the “execution-style” murder of the kitty menndege.
“Your mother’s murder especially showed sympathy and lack of reason,” he said. “I don’t know that I have ever angry at that level, anytime.”
