Erik and Lyle Menendez were both denied parole on their first attempt, upending their bid for release after more than three decades in prison.

At Erik Menendez's parole hearing on Thursday, he told the commissioners about a pivotal conversation he had with his brother five days before the murders. That day, he said he confided in Lyle Menendez that their father was sexually abusing him -- the first time the siblings had ever discussed the abuse.
