Kim Kardashian calls for a re-examination of the Menendez brothers’ case, arguing the media created a false narrative and their life sentences are unjust.
Kim Kardashian is pushing for a fresh look at the case of the Menendez brothers, saying that the way the media has shown them is unfair.
In a strong piece for NBC News, Kardashian argues that Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of killing their parents in 1989, were actually victims of a lot of abuse and that their side of the story was ignored because people didn’t take male victims of sexual assault seriously.
Kim Kardashian has penned an essay demanding the Menendez brothers be freed after they were convicted of killing their parents in 1996.

Her passionate argument is about seeing the brothers not as bad guys, but as people who should be given another chance, saying that if the case was tried now, the verdict could be very different.
