Una junta de libertad condicional ha rechazado la solicitud de libertad condicional de Erik Menéndez, alegando que no ha mostrado el debido remordimiento por haber matado a sus padres hace 36 años. Su hermano, Lyle Menéndez, se enfrenta hoy (22 de agosto) a su propia audiencia.

Los Angeles

Erik Menendez, one of the Menendez brothers convicted of killing their parents in 1989, has been denied parole after a hearing in California. The parole board cited his lack of demonstrated remorse and a history of disciplinary violations in prison, including illegal cell phone use, drug smuggling, and tax fraud, as reasons for the decision.

Menendez, who was 18 at the time of the crime, appeared virtually from state prison for the nearly 10-hour hearing. His brother Lyle, also convicted in the case, has a separate parole hearing scheduled. Erik Menendez will be eligible for another parole hearing in three years.

Se deniega la libertad condicional a Erik Menéndez tras una vista en California

Vamos a empezar sin embargo con un desarrollo importante en el caso de los hermanos Menendez. Eric Menendez, es el menor de los dos, se le ha denegado la libertad condicional después de una audiencia en California. La junta dice que no ha mostrado el debido remordimiento por matar a sus padres. Ya han pasado 36 años. Lyle Menendez, quien también fue parte de ese crimen, tiene su propia audiencia de libertad condicional programada para hoy. Carter Evans tiene más sobre la historia. Carter, buenos días. Buenos días, Gail. Las audiencias son separadas para los hermanos y ayer, los comisionados escucharon del hermano menor, Eric Menendez. Sólo tenía 18 años cuando mató a sus padres con una escopeta. Y la pregunta ante la junta era simple. ¿Representa un riesgo irrazonable para la sociedad? Y para Eric, la respuesta es sí. Después de una audiencia de casi 10 horas, Eric Menendez, de 54 años, que apareció virtualmente desde la prisión estatal de San Diego, se le denegó la libertad condicional. Ahora está un paso más lejos de la libertad desde su condena hace más de 30 años. Eric y su hermano mayor, Lyle, admitieron haber disparado brutalmente y matado a sus padres en su casa de Beverly Hills en 1989. Resumiendo la decisión, El comisario Robert Barton explicó que la gravedad del delito no fue la razón principal de la denegación. Fue por su comportamiento en prisión, citando más de una docena de violaciones, incluyendo el uso ilegal de teléfonos móviles, contrabando de drogas y fraude fiscal. El mal comportamiento, todo eso indica que Eric Menendez aún podría suponer un riesgo para la sociedad, y al final, como era de esperar, negaron la libertad condicional. La familia de Eric dice que el resultado no es lo que esperaban. No mucha gente sale en libertad condicional en su primer intento, así que no fue del todo una sorpresa, pero sigue siendo muy decepcionante. Fiscal del Distrito del Condado de L.A. Nathan Hockman, quien repetidamente se opuso a la liberación de los hermanos, elogió a la junta de libertad condicional por su decisión. A la espera del resultado del jueves, El gobernador de California Gavin Newsom dijo que ha evitado tomar partido en la libertad condicional de los hermanos. No he visto ningún documental. No he visto nada que haya salido sobre los hermanos Menendez, y he evitado intencionadamente con expectación y anticipación que esto podría aterrizar en mi escritorio, así que los hechos hablarán por sí mismos. Eric tendrá que esperar otros tres años antes de su próxima audiencia de libertad condicional. Hace dos años, esto ni siquiera era una posibilidad. Seguimos avanzando. Ahora, más tarde esta mañana, la junta de libertad condicional tomará el caso del hermano de Eric, Lyle. Ahora tiene 57 años, y esto podría ser interesante porque Lyle tenía un historial mucho mejor en prisión, pero como el hermano mayor, fue percibido como el cerebro detrás de los asesinatos. ¿Tony? Ya veremos. Carter, muchas gracias.
