California Governor Gavin Newsom is set to decide by Labor Day whether Erik and Lyle Menendez, convicted of murdering 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 debate about the brothers' culpability and the fairness of their trial. Newsom has intentionally avoided watching the series to maintain impartiality ahead of his decision. Influential figures, including Kim Kardashian, have advocated for the brothers' release, further fueling public interest.
The parole decision comes as Erik Menendez has reportedly been hospitalized, adding another layer of urgency to the case.
