Kim Kardashian argued Erik Menendez and Lyle Menendez should be released from prison in a personal essay published by NBC News.
Kim Kardashian has shown her support for the Menendez brothers — the most recent subjects of Ryan Murphy’s “Monsters” series — as the Los Angeles district attorney announced the office is reviewing the case over 20 years later.
In a personal essay published by NBC News Thursday, the Skims founder advocated on behalf of Erik and Lyle Menendez, saying she believes the brothers “are not monsters” and hopes their “life sentences are reconsidered.”
In her letter, Kardashian, who passed the “baby bar” in 2021, said she believes the brothers “were condemned before [their] trial even began” due to the media attention surrounding the crime.
Erik and Lyle were convicted in 1996 for the 1989 murders of their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez, in their Beverly Hills, Calif., home. They were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole after two trials.
