Fans are tearing Kim Kardashian apart for demanding the release of the Menendez brothers, but they ‘sit silent’ as an ‘innocent’ man is executed
Kim Kardashian continues her work for criminal justice reform. In a private essay published on October 3 by NBC Newsused her position as a celeb and aspiring lawyer to declare her support for the justice system to contemplate overturning the life sentences of Erik and Lyle Menendez.
The high-profile case of brothers who killed their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989 attracted renewed media attention as latest evidence emerged in the case.
Prosecutors announced that the findings are being reviewed by District Attorney George Gascón and that they may corroborate the siblings’ claims that their heinous crimes were the result of sexual abuse by their father.
The men went on trial in 1993, but the deadlocked jury was unable to succeed in a verdict, resulting in the trial being overturned. The second trial began in 1995, when they were charged with first-degree murder in reference to the death of their parents.
They were convicted in March 1996, and just a few weeks later each were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors say their actions were motivated by money, noting that the brothers cared about their parents’ multimillion-dollar fortune. Erik and Lyle have long claimed they killed in self-defense. Kardashian seems to imagine them.
The brothers’ story became a divisive topic following the release of “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy’s Netflix murder drama “Monsters.” Kardashian and Murphy are friends and colleagues.
She appeared on the twelfth season of his hit horror series and was announced as a forged member of his upcoming show “All’s Fair,” during which art will imitate life as her character practices law.
I do not support it #kimkardashian fighting for justice for you #MenendezBrothers 🤷🏾♀️ these are clean killers who deserve life in prison. They desired to do so much of things in retaliation for their abuse and selected the worst option, let’s not normalize crimes

In her letter she wrote: “I spent time with Lyle and Eric; they are not monsters. They are nice, intelligent and honest people. In prison, they both have an exemplary disciplinary record,” he added, “the murders cannot be justified. I want to clarify this. This is also their behavior before, during and after the crime. But we shouldn’t deny who they are today at 50 years old.”
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star said the sentence was “more fitting for a serial killer than for two people who suffered years of sexual abuse at the hands of people they loved and trusted.” “I do not believe that spending a lifetime in prison was the appropriate punishment in this complex case… We owe it to these little boys who lost their childhood, who never had a chance to be heard, helped and saved.”
The businesswoman has participated in several prisoner release talks since reaching an agreement with former President Donald Trump on the First Step Act, a bill that will allow consideration of reduced sentences for some inmates with good behavior and nonviolent drug offenses.
She also publicly lobbied for clemency for prisoners such as Alice Johnson. However, her connections to the Menendez brothers have come under fire.
Kim Kardashian wrote an entire thesis at the end of a term paper/essay in MLA format demanding the release of the Menendez boys. When asked for assist in the case of an innocent man named Marcellus before his execution, she remained silent on the radio… Hmm, interesting

“Kim, did you even graduate from LAW SCHOOL…?” he wrote one person on Instagram. The reality star didn’t study law; as an alternative, she decided to arrange for the California bar exam and seek law tutoring. She failed the grueling exam 3 times before finally announcing in 2022 that she had passed the exam.
In February, the alleged source Sun claimed that Kardashian was considering taking a break from law school. This person maintains that the SKIMS founder was concerned about the impact her public image would have.
“She can’t give this up without looking bad, looking like she can’t clear the bar after all this work and all this talk about how much she cared about pushing for prison reform,” they claim.
Someone else suggested the letter was a PR stunt. “I always wonder if she and her team are sitting around thinking, ‘What can I jump on and what can be said about me?’” one comment read. A 3rd person believes that Kardashian showed support for the mistaken cause.
“So she couldn’t do it for Marcellus Williams,” one such comment read. The second response was similar: “But she stayed silent when this innocent black man was murdered two weeks ago????”
Marcellus Williams, a black man, was executed in Missouri on September 24 after serving 23 years in prison for the 1998 murder of reporter Felicia Gayle. Williams maintained his innocence for twenty years.
Multiple appeals have been filed to overturn his sentence, including last-minute attempts to remain his execution as prosecutors forged doubt on his guilt.
