Summary
The long-awaited parole hearing for Erik Menendez is happening today in California. His brother Lyle has his parole hearing tomorrow. But by the end of the day today, we should know if the parole board recommends freedom. But even if Erik Menendez hears in the coming hours that his parole request has been granted, he’s not walking out of prison anytime soon. We break down the timeline and explain why so much of the Menendez brothers fate is in the hands of Governor Gavin Newsom.
