Kim Kardashian comments on the announcement of the review of the Menendez brothers’ sentence after visiting the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego last September.
After nearly 35 years in prison, Erik and Lyle Menendez will have their sentence reviewed. The two were sentenced to life in prison after murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their home in Beverly Hills in 1989.
Erik and Lyle have always claimed that the murders were committed in self-defense, citing that they were abused by their father for years.
The announcement of the sentence review came on October 24, about a month after businesswoman Kim Kardashian visited the Menendez brothers.
Kardashian posted on her Instagram story commenting on the decision of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón.
“Thank you, George Gascón, for revisiting the Menendez brothers’ case and correcting a significant error. Your commitment to truth and justice is commendable,” Kardashian praised.
“Society’s understanding of child abuse has evolved, and social media empowers us to question the existing system. I believe in the justice system’s capacity to evolve, and I am grateful for a society where we can challenge decisions and seek justice,” she commented.
