The Menendez brothers, who became known to a wide audience through the series “Monster,” may be about to be released from prison.
The true crime series “Monster” on Netflix is currently proving how big an influence a series can have. Its second season, which revolves around “The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez,” could soon ensure that the pair of brothers convicted of murdering their own parents are released from prison. The district attorney in charge of Los Angeles, George Gascón, has now submitted a corresponding application to change the original judge’s ruling from 1996.
Accordingly, Gascón is asking that the two brothers’ life sentence without the possibility of parole be converted into a life sentence with the possibility of parole. Due to the fact that Lyle and Erik Menendez have been in prison for around 30 years, a corresponding change in the sentence could lead to the immediate release of the two. The reason given is, among other things, that Lyle and Erik behaved in an exemplary manner during their imprisonment and did not pose a danger to the public.
Kim Kardashian excited about this development
Kim Kardashian (44) is extremely pleased with this development. The reality star, who has been studying law for several years, has been following the Menendez brothers’ case for a long time. In response to the district attorney’s request, the 44-year-old wrote in an Instagram story: “The Menendez brothers have been given a second chance at life and will finally wake up tomorrow with the possibility of a parole hearing.”
According to her, the application could mean that the two brothers could potentially be released in around six months. It continues: “Many thanks to George Gascón, who reopened the case of the Menendez brothers and wants to correct a big mistake.”
Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted in 1996, when they were 18 and 21, for the murder of their parents. Even then, the verdict was considered controversial. Both men said they had been psychologically and sexually abused for years and had acted in self-defense.
