Kim Kardashian Demands Menendez Brothers Release As Prosecutors Review New Evidence In Case

Kim Kardashian has written a personal essay in which she is advocating for the release of the Menendez brothers who are currently serving life sentences for the murder of their parents. In the essay, published by NBC News on Oct. 3rd, she writes, “The trial and punishment these brothers received were more befitting a serial killer than two individuals who endured years of sexual abuse by the very people they loved and trusted.” Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to life in prison for the murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez in 1989. According to the Los Angeles district attorney, prosecutors are now reviewing the case in light of new evidence that surfaced. The evidence is a letter written by Erik that his attorneys say corroborates the allegations that he was sexually abused by his father. The case was put back in the spotlight after Netflix’s release of “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” a drama based on the case.
