Erik Menendez’s wife, Tammi Menendez, called his parole denial a “complete setup” and an “injustice.”

“Parole Commissioner Robert Barton had his mind made up to deny Erik parole from the start! This was a complete setup, and Erik never stood a chance! #Injustice,” Tammi shared in an X post on Thursday, August 21, after Erik, 54, was denied parole during a hearing Thursday.

In a subsequent post, Tammi wrote, “Erik hasn’t had any infractions since 2011, apart from a cell phone possession,” referring to lead parole commissioner Robert Barton’s assertions Thursday that Erik has “not been a model prisoner.”

Us Weekly has reached out to California Board of Parole Hearings and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for comment.
