Kim Kardashian Comes to the Defense of Lyle and Erik Menendez
Despite calling for a reevaluation of the brothers’ case, the Kardashians star did not excuse their actions. She acknowledged that the killings were inexcusable and clarified that their behavior before, during, and after the crime was not justified. However, she emphasized that they should not be defined solely by their past actions at a young age.
Kim also discussed the brothers’ claims of long-term abuse by their parents, leading her to believe that they felt trapped and saw no other way out than to commit the crime. She questioned whether lifelong incarceration was an appropriate punishment for such a complex situation and suggested that a modern trial could yield a different outcome.
On the same day, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced that the case is being reviewed for possible resentencing. The prosecutors are exploring new evidence that could support the brothers’ allegations of abuse by their father.
