Kim Kardashian praises D.A. for recommending parole eligibility for Menendez brothers

latimes.com

Kim Kardashian thanked L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón for recommending that the Menendez brothers be resentenced and made eligible for parole. The brothers are serving life sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents. Gascón's request could allow Erik and Lyle Menendez to be resentenced to 50 years to life, making them eligible for youthful-offender parole. This follows a review of their case after new evidence of alleged abuse surfaced. Kardashian highlighted the importance of reexamining the case, noting societal changes in understanding child abuse. While the D.A.'s recommendation is a step forward, a judge must still approve it, and the parole board will ultimately decide their release.
