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 in San Diego, a day after his brother Erick's freedom was rejected by commissioners in the deaths 36 years ago of their parents.
