California Governor Gavin Newsom is set to decide by Labor Day whether Erik and Lyle Menendez, convicted of killing their parents in 1989, will be granted parole.
The case has resurfaced in public discourse due to the Netflix series 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' produced by Ryan Murphy, which has sparked new debate and even changed Murphy's own perspective on the brothers. Newsom has intentionally avoided watching the series to maintain impartiality ahead of his decision. High-profile figures like Kim Kardashian have also weighed in, advocating for the brothers' release.
The parole decision comes as Erik Menendez is reportedly hospitalized, adding urgency and complexity to the case.
