Kim Kardashian expresses her faith in the justice system — and in Ryan Murphy — after LA County Dist. Atty. George Gascón brought the Menendez brothers one step closer to freedom.

Gascón on Thursday asked a judge to spare Erik and Lyle Menendez, two brothers serving life sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez. The request could lead to early release: If sentenced to 50 years to life with the possibility of parole, as the DA advised, the brothers could be eligible for parole immediately because they committed the crimes when they were younger than 26 and already have served almost 35 years.

“The Menendez brothers were given a second chance at life,” Kardashian said Thursday Instagram stories commends the DA’s decision. “Thank you, George Gascón, for revisiting the case of the Menendez brothers and correcting a significant error. Your commitment to truth and justice is commendable.”

Gascón announced earlier this month that his office reviewed the Menendez case after the brothers’ lawyers filed a habeas motion last year, arguing that new evidence supported the brothers’ long-held claim that they had been sexually abused by their father for years before the murders. At the time of the high-profile 1995 trial, the presiding judge strongly limited testimony that would have supported an “abuse excuse,” paving the way for the brothers’ 1996 convictions and sentences to life without parole.

Skim’s founder went on in his post to tell the “millions who have been vocal supporters” of the case’s retrial that their voices “have been heard.

“The media focus, especially on the heels of Ryan Murphy’s TV show, helped expose the abuse and injustice of their cases,” she wrote. “Society’s understanding of child abuse has evolved, and social media gives us the opportunity to question the systems that exist.”

Netflix last month released Ryan Murphy’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” a dramatized version of the murders that Murphy called “the best thing that’s happened to the Menendez brothers in 30 years because it’s getting people talking about it and it’s getting people to ask the questions that matter.” It was part of a lot Menendez-inspired media.

The Menendez case “highlights the importance of challenging decisions and seeking the truth, even when guilt is not in question,” Kardashian wrote.

“I believe in the legal system’s ability to evolve, and I am grateful for a society where we can challenge decisions and seek justice,” she wrote. “Never stop questioning.”

“The Kardashians” star earlier this month wrote a personal essay in favor of “reconsidering” the brothers’ life sentences.

In the piece, she argued that the brothers – whom she said the media turned into “monsters and sensationalist eye candy” – “had no chance of getting a fair trial” at the time of their criminal cases, when resources were scarce for victims of sexual assault, particularly those who were men. The public had little “empathy, let alone sympathy,” she said, for a couple of wealthy teenagers from Beverly Hills.

The Menendez brothers were treated more like “serial killers”. advocate for criminal justice reform and would-be attorney said, than “two individuals who endured years of sexual abuse by the very people they loved and trusted.”

“I don’t think spending his natural life in prison was the right sentence for this complex case. Had this crime been committed and tried today, I think the outcome would have been dramatically different,” she said.

Gascón echoed Kardashian’s comments in a Tuesday interview with CNNand said: “There was certainly implicit bias going on at the time which may have had an impact on how the case was perceived and presented to the jury.”

In addition, the DA said Thursday that the brothers have been involved for years in prison programs to help inmates deal with trauma and to help those with physical disabilities.

Kardashian, who last month visited the brothers in prison, also vouched for their “exemplary disciplinary records,” saying the pair have “earned multiple college degrees, worked as caregivers for elderly incarcerated individuals in hospice care, and mentored in college programs — committed to giving back to others.”

“Death is not excusable,” she said. “But we shouldn’t deny who they are today in their 50s.”

Contrary to Kardashian’s suggestion in a subsequent Instagram story that the Menendez brothers were “immediately eligible for parole now that their sentences have been reduced to 50 years to life,” their new sentences remain undetermined.

If Gascón’s recommendation is approved by a judge, the fate of the brothers would still rest with the parole board, which will decide whether to release them. Governor Gavin Newsom could too veto the parole board’s decision.
