Reality star Kim Kardashian, who has been pursuing a law degree since 2018 in an effort to further her criminal justice reform advocacy, is calling for the life sentences of convicted murderers Lyle and Erik Menendez to be reconsidered.
Lyle Menendez, 56, and Erik Menendez, 53, were found guilty in March 1996 of murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, after undergoing two trials—the first of which resulted in a deadlocked jury. The brothers were subsequently sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
