Erik Menendez asked to leave prison, but the parole board said no. He and his brother Lyle killed their parents in 1989. Erik can try again in three years. Lyle will have his own hearing soon.

The parole board said Erik is not ready to go free. They said he broke rules in prison and did bad things before. Some people in his family want him to come home, but the board did not agree.

Erik and Lyle say they killed their parents because they were scared and hurt. The police and lawyers say the brothers wanted money. Now, Erik must stay in prison, but he hopes to leave one day.
