Kim Kardashian reportedly made an unexpected visit to Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life sentences for murdering their parents in order to inherit their £10 million fortune. The brothers, Lyle aged 55 and Erik aged 52, were arrested in 1990 after fatally shooting their mother Kitty and father Jose in their Beverly Hills home. Prosecutors argued that greed motivated the brothers, who spent lavishly after the murders. Despite their claims of self-defense due to alleged abuse by their father, they were convicted and sentenced to life without parole after a highly publicized trial.

Kim’s visit to the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego with her sister Khloé and mother Kris was part of her involvement in criminal justice reform. The meeting, which included around 40 prisoners, focused on initiatives like Greenspace, a project by Lyle aimed at improving prison environments to support rehabilitation.

Erik Menendez had expressed criticism of a TV series dramatizing their story, which likely prompted their discussion during Kim’s visit. Despite recent attempts for a retrial based on claims of new evidence, legal experts have expressed skepticism about their chances of being released.

In summary, Kim Kardashian’s visit to Erik and Lyle Menendez underscores her ongoing commitment to criminal justice reform, while also highlighting the brothers’ controversial legal battles and their efforts to contest their convictions.
