‘Monsters’ star Cooper Koch also wrote that the “recommendation has ignited a renewed sense of possibility that Lyle and Erik could finally be released after decades behind bars.”
Kim Kardashian is sharing her reaction to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón’s recommendation Thursday for Erik and Lyle Menendez to be resentenced.
The businesswoman and reality star, who has been outspoken about her support of the brothers, took to her Instagram Story on Thursday afternoon to show her appreciation for Gascón.
“The Menendez brothers were granted a second chance at life and will wake up tomorrow finally eligible for a parole hearing. They could be released as early as 6 months,” Kardashian wrote. “Thank you, George Gascón for revisiting the Menendez brothers’ case and righting a significant wrong. Your commitment to truth and fairness is commendable. To the brother’s family, friends, and millions who have been vocal supporters — 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.”
She continued, “Society’s understanding of child abuse has evolved, and social media empowers us to question the system in place. This case highlights the importance of challenging decisions and seeking truth, even when guilt is not in question.”
During a press conference on Thursday, Gascón said his office will move for reconsideration of the case involving the brothers, who fatally shot their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in 1989. They have served 34 years in prison after exhausting all of their appeals in 2005.
The recommendation for the brothers to be resentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole will be considered by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. A parole board will then determine whether they should be set free.
Cooper Koch, who portrayed Erik in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, also praised Gascón for his recommendation. The district attorney announced that the brother’s case was under review for possible resentencing just days after the hit Netflix series premiered last month.
“I am overwhelmed with gratitude and hope for the progress we’ve seen today,” Koch wrote in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday. “Gascón’s recommendation has ignited a renewed sense of possibility that Lyle and Erik could finally be released after decades behind bars.”
He continued, “But, this journey is not over. There are still critical steps ahead: The judge must endorse the resentencing, and, if that happens, the parole board must recognize the time they have served as fitting for the crime. Our voices, our unwavering support, remain crucial — not just for the brothers to ensure their release, but also for every victim of sexual abuse fighting to be heard. I hope to see Erik and Lyle soon. Free from all of this.”
Murphy has yet to comment on Gascón’s recommendation but he previously told THR that he believes the Menendez brothers “probably deserve their time in court, at least with some of this new evidence. And then it’s up for the courts to decide. I hope that they do get fairness.”
The new evidence presented to the district attorney included a letter written by Erik that his attorneys say corroborates the allegations that he was sexually abused by his father.
