Why are the Menendez brothers still in jail?
Over the weekend, both Erik and Lyle Menendez were denied parole by a California review board. The brothers have spent more than three decades in prison for murdering their parents. Renewed interest in the case saw them resentenced in May, marking what many saw as their best chance at freedom in over 30 years.
