Menendez Brothers Case Under Review as New Evidence Emerges
Los Angeles prosecutors are set to review new evidence in the notorious case of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1996. The Los Angeles District Attorney's office announced that they are considering a resentencing following recent developments in the case. High-profile advocates, including Kim Kardashian, have called for the brothers' release, arguing that they are not 'monsters' but victims of severe abuse. This renewed interest in the case coincides with the popularity of the Netflix series 'Monsters,' which explores the Menendez brothers' story. Kardashian has penned an op-ed expressing her belief that the brothers deserve freedom, stating, 'We owe it to those little boys who lost their childhoods.' The outcome of the review by the District Attorney's office could significantly impact the brothers' fate.
