| 0:14.7 | Eric Menendez has been denied parole by the California Review Board. |
| 0:28.5 | He is one of the two brothers convicted in 89, 36 years ago of the shotgun sling of the parents. |
| 0:35.1 | Lyle now is the younger brother and the one that everyone's looking to see what the review board will decide on that. ABC News legal analyst Royal Oaks joins us. |
| 0:40.2 | Royal, thanks for coming on. What does it tell us about the denial of Eric that we can glean |
