Kim Kardashian is advocating for the reconsideration of Erik and Lyle Menendez's life sentences, asserting that their case is more complex than it appears. Convicted in 1996 for the murder of their parents, Kardashian argues that they acted in self-defense due to years of abuse and that their trial was marred by media sensationalism and bias. She highlights their exemplary conduct in prison and believes they were unfairly portrayed as greedy killers. The case has gained renewed attention due to a Netflix series, and Kardashian's essay coincides with a potential review of new evidence that could lead to a resentencing or retrial. Kardashian, who is pursuing a law degree, contends that the brothers deserve empathy and a fair reassessment of their sentences.
