E rik and Lyle Menendez will remain in prison after the California parole board rejected both of their bids for early release this week. The pair must wait three more years until their next parole hearing.

Lyle Menendez was denied parole in San Diego, a day after his brother Erick's freedom was rejected by commissioners in the deaths 36 years ago of their parents.

A state panel said Erik Menendez should stay in prison for the 1989 killing of his parents and questioned the sincerity of his rehabilitation. His brother, Lyle, goes before the board on Friday.
