The unexpected release of audio from Erik Menendez’s tightly controlled parole hearing last week nearly derailed Friday’s proceedings for his brother, Lyle, and infuriated his family members – who raised questions about the recording’s impact on the outcome and how it was released.

Lyle Menendez was denied parole on Friday, keeping him behind bars with his younger brother Erik Menendez, whose parole was denied on Thursday.

In two hearings, California parole panels said the brothers should not be released from prison 36 years after they killed their parents.
