Kim Kardashian calls on Menendez brothers to be freed, citing sexual abuse claims: ‘Not monsters’
Fox News
Kim Kardashian argued in an essay this week that the Menendez brothers deserve reduced sentences for killing their parents because of their claims of sexual abuse.
Prosecutors in Los Angeles are reviewing new evidence to determine whether the siblings should be serving life sentences for killing their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion more than 35 years ago, the city’s district attorney said on Thursday. "Following years of abuse and a real fear for their lives, Erik and Lyle chose what they thought at the time was their only way out — an unimaginable way to escape their living nightmare."
The case is being highlighted in a new Netflix scripted series and an upcoming documentary.
"You think you know the story of Lyle and Erik Menendez," Kardashian wrote in her opinion essay for NBC News published on Thursday. "I certainly thought I did."
