The Ministry of Reform in California and RehabilitationEric Menendes has been refused to make a conditional release after being submitted for freedom before the California Revolutionary Council.
The youngest of the youngest brothers of my brother Mindez, who performed in the 1989 Venice murders for their wealthy parents in Beverly Hills, made his first appeal before the conditional release council on Thursday morning.
His brother is scheduled to face a listening session for the suitability of the conditional release on Friday. Two brothers have become qualified to release the conditional release after that Resignation in May.
Eric Mindez ruled to make a conditional release again in another session three years ago, spent the board of directors.
The Commissioner of the Conditional Release Board of Directors, Robert Barton, who listened to a certificate for more than 10 hours with a committee before the conditional release of Eric denied that Eric was not yet ready to release him.
“I believe in redemption, or I will not do this job,” Eric said at the end of the marathon session. “But based on legal standards, we find that you are still an unreasonable threat to public safety.”
The council took the case specifically, with its violations in prison and the former criminal activity before his parents were killed.
“In contrast to the beliefs of your supporters, you were not a typical prisoner and frankly, we find it a little annoying,” Barton said, and Parton said frankly that he now has two “options” for his future.
“One of them is that you have a compassion party,” Barton told ERIK. “Or you can take into account what we discussed.”
He did not end his attempt for freedom. The conditional release is likely to deny the focus of GOV GAVIN NewsOMWhich is studying separately the request for the compassion of the brothers.
Clearance can come in the form of a reduced sentence or even pardon, but it will not turn the brother’s convictions. The influence on such a prominent and controversial issue can be political fraught with a political point of view for Newsom, which is believed to be a possible competition for the president.
Regardless of the conditional and hate release, the brothers also asked for a new experience due to additional evidence that was discovered in the case.
The judge is studying the request, but he is opposed by the Office of the Prosecutor in Los Angeles County.
During the hearing, the prosecutor from the provincial prosecutor’s office against Eric, saying that the positive changes in his behavior were only driven by the opportunity to release it. They argued that “it is still an unreasonable danger to society” and that “he has no insight into its crimes.”
Eric actually appeared in a hearing from San Diego prison, where he was staying, and wore a blue prison suit and glasses. His family, lawyers, and public prosecutor also appeared from the Los Angeles County Lawyer Office on a video call with a conditional release board board.
During the hearing that lasted throughout the day, the committee asked him about the killings, his relationship with his parents and his attempts to cover up guilt in the murders. He sometimes grew emotionally, describing the moments when he opened fire on his parents, Jose and Kitie Mindez, with a gun watching TV at Beverly Hills Palace.
The Brotherhood shot the husband more than dozens of times, so that Eric re -downloading the gun and continued to shoot his mother. He and his brother have long claimed self -defense and said they were subjected to sexual abuse.
Eric said during the session before knowing his fate.
“If I have the opportunity to be freedom, I want to be a recovery around them,” he said. “I don’t think it’s healing for me – it’s the healing of the family. This is a family tragedy.”
The council asked him about its time in prison and legal cases before the killings, including the participation of two robberies. He said that his time in prison helped him to develop “moral handrails”.
The committee also studied factors such as its validity and whether it would be dangerous for society if it was released from prison. The risk assessment of it was found to be a “moderate” risk if released.
California Ministry of CourseThey reviewed the education and positive programs in which he participated in prison, as well as the abuses that were in the state of insurance, including prison battles and finding them several times with the smuggler. While he was behind bars, he was facing a problem with a mobile phone, technical supplies and tobacco – which he was hiding inside a religious book.
The decision to keep Eric in the prison is separate from the Layl decision, which is scheduled to appear before the various conditional release council committee on Friday morning.
In explaining their decision on Thursday, the Board of Directors clarified that Eric behavior in prison and that previous robberies were great factors in his denial. They also cited the brutal nature of the killing, describing it as “free of human sympathy.”
While many of the Manendez Brothers case includes both brothers, their behavior is behind bars and before 1989 killings and can raise a different decision from the state’s conditional release council.
During Thursday’s session, a coalition of relatives He has long called for the launch of the brothersSupporters also witnessed on behalf of Eric, saying that he changed during his long punishment.
Terseta Mindez Bart, the sister of Jose Menendes, collapsed in crying in front of the painting, and told them that she forgives Eric for killing her brother and years of shock caused by his family.
She said that she dies from the fourth stage of cancer.
“The truth is that I do not know how much time I left. If Eric is given a conditional release, it will be a blessing,” she told them. “I hope to live for a long time enough to welcome it in my house, and sit at the same table, to wrap my arms around him – that would bring me the incredible peace and joy.”
The prominent killing trials of the brothers were among those that identified the last century.
During their trials, the brothers claimed that the killings had been in self -defense and said that they had suffered from years of emotional and sexual assault at the hands of their parents.
Nevertheless, the prosecutors argued that they were greedy, entitled Monsters who strictly planned the killings and then lied to the authorities that were investigating the case while they were taking $ 700,000 (526,00,000 pounds) spent – with purchases including the Porsche, Jeep and Rolex – with the property of their parents.
They were not arrested until the police obtained a word from their acceptance to a psychological world.
After three decades, the case was re -examined in the audience thanks to a combination of new evidence, attention on Tiktok, the NETFLIX Monsters series: Lyle’s story, Erik Manendez and celebrities.
But the movement in the courts did not happen until the former prosecutor in Los Angeles re -examined the case and asked the judge to re -present it, pointing to the advanced California approach to juvenile criminals and ill -treatment.
The change in the state law allows criminals under the age of 26 at the time of their judgment on minors instead of adults. Lael was twenty -one years old and Erik was eighteen years old when they killed their parents.
Despite the new Los Angeles County lawyer, Nathan Hoshman, who is fighting against discontent, a judge in May reduced his sentence to 50 years of life with the possibility of conditional release.
Hoshman is accused of continuing “displaying narcissistic and hostile features to society” and his office he strongly argued in court against both Eric and Liel.
