Why were the Menendez brothers refused parole?

Asked 9 hours ago

Answer

The Menendez brothers were refused parole because they failed to fully accept responsibility for their crimes, continued to assert a false self-defense claim, and had disciplinary violations in prison such as unauthorized cell phone use. The parole board determined they still pose a risk to society and have not demonstrated sufficient remorse or rehabilitation.
