In this episode of Crime Analyst, Laura dives deep into the Menendez Brother's Parole Board Hearings with investigative reporter Robert Rand, author of the book The Menendez Murders. Robert has followed the case from the start and was present at both trials.
On August 21 2025 Erik Menendez went before the Parole Board in California. He was found not suitable for parole. Lyle Menendez was next on August 22. He too was denied parole.
Together we unravel:
1. the parole board process;
2. new information shared at each hearing;
4. the risk assessments;
5. facts vs fiction about the abuse Erik and Lyle experienced;
6. facts vs fiction about the killings;
7. why Laura and Robert were not surprised that parole was refused, and,
8. what happens next.
You will learn everything you need to know about the case, what happened at the Parole Board Hearings that's significant as well as the next steps for Erik and Lyle Menendez. Don't believe the false narratives, tune in and watch the episode for the actual facts from the experts who understand the case.
