SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court Wednesday upheld the convictions of Erik and Lyle Menendez, two brothers convicted of murdering their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion, a case that generated headlines across the globe.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals left intact a 1998 state appeals court ruling upholding the convictions and life-without-parole sentences.
The brothers admitted fatally shooting Jose and Kitty Menendez in the home in August 1989 and were convicted of first-degree murder.
