A California judge has denied the Menendez brothers’ bid for a new trial, marking yet another setback for the two men convicted in the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents in Beverly Hills – as one of the men took to social media to blast the “disappointing” decision. 

On Monday, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled against Erik and Lyle Menendez, ultimately rejecting a 2023 habeas corpus petition filed by the brothers’ attorneys, Cliff Gardner and Mark Geragos, requesting a new trial, according to FOX 11. 

The petition argued that two new pieces of evidence support the brothers’ claims regarding years of alleged sexual abuse at the hands of their father, José Menendez.

Similarly, the board also denied parole for Erik, with Commissioner Robert Barton emphasizing the seriousness of his crimes and conduct in prison. 

“I believe in redemption, or I wouldn’t be doing this job,” Barton said. “But based on the legal standards, we find that you continue to pose an unreasonable risk to public safety.” 

The decision was the latest after a May resentencing hearing ended with Judge Michael Jesic reducing the brothers’ life-without-parole sentences to 50-to-life, ultimately deeming them eligible for parole consideration. 

Both Erik and Lyle Menendez are eligible to be reconsidered for parole in 2028. 

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and the Menendez brothers’ attorneys did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
