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 the public eye due to the Netflix series 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' produced by Ryan Murphy, whose perspective on the brothers shifted during production. Newsom has intentionally avoided watching the series to maintain impartiality ahead of his decision. The parole hearing has sparked widespread debate, with high-profile figures like Kim Kardashian advocating for the brothers' release.
The outcome could mark a significant moment in California's criminal justice history.
