After her visit with them behind bars, Kim Kardashian is grateful to see that Erik and Lyle Menéndez could be able to walk free.
After Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón recommended Thursday that the brothers be resentenced for the 1989 murders of their parents José and Mary Louise ‘Kitty’ Menéndez, potentially making them “eligible for parole immediately,” the Kardashians star shared her reaction.
“The Menéndez brothers were granted a second chance at life and will wake up tomorrow finally eligible for a parole hearing,” she began in a statement on her Instagram Story. “They could be released in as early as 6 months.
“Thank you, George Gascón, for revisiting the Menéndez brothers’ case and righting a significant wrong. Your commitment to truth and fairness is commendable,” wrote Kardashian.
She went on to thank “the millions who have been vocal supporters,” adding: “Your voices were heard. The media’s focus, especially on the heels of Ryan Murphy‘s TV show, helped expose the abuse and injustices in their case.”
After Erik slammed Murphy’s Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menéndez Story as a “dishonest portrayal,” Kardashian and Cooper Koch (who played Erik in the series) visited the brothers along with 40 inmates at San Diego County’s Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility to discuss prison reform. She subsequently penned an essay calling for their release.
Kardashian added on Thursday, “Society’s understanding of child abuse has evolved, and social media empowers us to question the systems in place. This case highlights the importance of challenging decisions and seeking truth, even when guilt is not in question.
“I believe in the justice system’s ability to evolve, and I am grateful for a society where we can challenge decisions and seek justice,” she wrote. “Never stop questioning.”
Gascón previously announced in a press conference that he is filing a motion with LA Superior Court on Friday to have the brothers resentenced for manslaughter instead of murder. Instead of life without parole, they would then be sentenced to 50 years to life. But since they were under the age of 26 when the crime was committed, they would be eligible for parole immediately.
