Rosie O’Donnell Speaks Out On Her 30-Year Defense Of The Menendez Brothers

Rosie O’Donnell is sharing personal insight into her support for the Menendez brothers. The actress and comedian joined Chris Cuomo on News Nation alongside the brothers’ attorney, Mark Geragos, and explained why she’s passionately advocating for their release. Erik and Lyle are currently serving life sentences without parole for the 1989 murder of their parents, Jose and Kitty, and Rosie shared her belief in the siblings’ claim that Jose had molested them throughout their childhood. Rosie also recalled how her connection to Erik and Lyle began nearly 30 years ago and why she doesn’t think society was in a place at that time to take their allegations seriously. Rosie’s latest public remarks come weeks after Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced that new evidence was being considered in the brothers’ case.
