Kim Kardashian calls for mercy in Menendez brothers' case Kim Kardashian advocates for reconsideration of Menendez brothers' life sentences Kim Kardashian has penned an exclusive essay for NBC News, advocating for the reconsideration of Lyle and Erik Menendez's life sentences. The reality TV star and business mogul met with the imprisoned brothers nearly two weeks ago as part of her prison reform efforts. "I have spent time with Lyle and Erik; they are not monsters.
They are kind, intelligent, and honest men. In prison, they both have exemplary disciplinary records. They have earned multiple college degrees, worked as caregivers for elderly incarcerated individuals in hospice, and been mentors in college programs — committed to giving back to others," Kardashian writes.
Kardashian's essay highlights the brothers' positive behavior and achievements while incarcerated, including their educational accomplishments and community service. She also notes that 24 family members have expressed support for the brothers' release. The publication of Kardashian's essay coincides with reports that Los Angeles prosecutors are reviewing new evidence in the case.
The Menendez brothers were convicted of killing their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989. Kardashian acknowledges the complexity of the case, stating, "You think you know the story of Lyle and Erik Menendez. I certainly thought I did.
.. But this story is much more complex than it appears on the surface.
" She details the brot.
