Kim Kardashian has urged prosecutors to reconsider the life sentences given to the Menendez brothers, who killed their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989. The US reality star and entrepreneur, who often advocates for prison reform, said she visited Lyle and Erik Menendez in prison three weeks ago. “They are not monsters.
They are kind, intelligent, and honest men,” she wrote in an essay for NBC News.

Both brothers said they had been sexually, physically and emotionally abused for years by their parents.” Kardashian’s comments came after the Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon confirmed the brothers will get a court hearing in November after his office received new evidence which allegedly corroborates claims that Erik Menendez was sexually abused by his father. During a press conference, Mr Gascon said his office will review the new evidence and decide whether the case should be considered for resentencing, setting a hearing date for November 29.
