Lyle and Erik Menendez have been behind bars for 35 years, and when both brothers were denied parole last week, their case reached another barricade. But the brothers still have three potential paths to freedom: The brothers were initially sentenced to life without parole for the 1989 shotgun killings of their parents,

A day after denying release for his younger brother, Erik, a California Parole Board ruled that Lyle Menendez should also remain in prison for gunning down his parents with a shotgun in 1989.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were both denied parole eligibility for three years. The brothers, now in their 50s, have spent more than three decades in prison for their parents' murders.
