Why the delay in Lyle Menendez' parole outcome?

Then don't read it. You haven't a clue as to what my agenda consists of and why.

SO, you admit to having an agenda! LOL

I've read in SF posts by members describing childhood abuse. No where did I read any of those posters murdered their parents. They left their home. The brothers could easily done the same they were old enough.

The planning, brutality, lies & spending after they murdered their parents was well documented.

If I was on the parole board I would deny release.

Yes! A clear case of affluenza. Not sure there's any rehabilitation for that sort of entitlement mindset.

I don’t know California laws, but here in Pennsylvania, relatives may attend a parole hearing and give testimony as why the person seeking parole should be granted. If California is the same and if the relatives gave testimony of abuse during trial, I would have thought the relatives may have given testimony for their release.

I'm not seeing any reference to the inmate's family having the opportunity to give speak at at the Parole Hearing. Parole Hearing Information - Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services (OVSRS)
However, I believe the Menendez family members were able to insert their testimony in earlier court proceedings.

I also read the information on the CDCR website and it makes no mention of the prisoner’s family being able to attend a parole hearing and give testimony.

I would think that if the relatives weren’t permitted to attend the parole hearing to give testimony, they would at least be permitted to send letters stating their point if they were for or against granting parole. Those letters, if allowed, would be read at the hearing to get them in the record and the committee would take them under consideration.

As a State Trooper, I have gone before a parole board and asked that the felon’s sentence be continued in a rape case. The rapist had been convicted of 3 rapes, along with assault and battery on the victims. One victim spent over a month in the hospital and suffered brain damage. His sentence was 30-50 years. He was seeking parole after serving 30 years, but because of the severity of the one victim, I requested that his sentence be continued. Other family members and 2 of the victims also requested his sentence be continued.

The parole board in this case did extend the sentence for another 10 years before he could again request parole. He was granted parole after serving 41 years. On his release, he was 74 y/o.
