Erik and Lyle Menendez will face a parole board again in March 2027 after getting an early parole suitability hearing. They were initially eligible for a hearing in August 2028. The brothers were sentenced to life in prison for fatally shooting their parents in 1989. Last year, the parole board rejected their parole petitions. A Los Angeles judge also denied a petition seeking a review of their convictions based on new evidence of alleged abuse by their father. Their family says they have worked to take responsibility and heal from past trauma.

An 18-year-old in Washington state has been arrested for the investigation of manslaughter and arson in connection with a deadly July 4 fire, a county sheriff said Thursday. The teen from Kent was among a group of people setting off illegal fireworks from a truck bed when one landed in roadside brush, igniting the fast-moving blaze. That is according to Douglas County Sheriff Tyler Caille. He said authorities were seeking warrants for five others. The Chelan Hills Fire burned roughly 15.6 square miles, destroyed more than 100 structures and left one person dead. The victim has been identified as 69-year-old Robert Lister.
