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 following the Netflix series 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' produced by Ryan Murphy, who admits his perspective on the brothers changed during production. Newsom has intentionally avoided watching the series to maintain impartiality as he weighs the parole board's recommendation. High-profile figures like Kim Kardashian have also advocated for the brothers' release, adding to the controversy.
The decision comes as Erik Menendez has reportedly been hospitalized, further intensifying public interest.
