Kim Kardashian celebrated the latest update in the Erik and Lyle Menendez case, after Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon recommended that they will be resentenced for killing their parents.
The reality TV star took to her Instagram Stories with a lengthy text post, where she said that the brothers were “granted a second chance” and praised Gascon for “righting a significant wrong.”

The Kardashians star continued, “Thank you, George Gascón, for revisiting the Menéndez brothers’ case and righting a significant wrong. Your commitment to truth and fairness is commendable.”
In regards to this, she added, “To the brothers’ family, friends, and the millions who have been vocal supporters – your voices were heard. Society’s understanding of child abuse has evolved, and social media empowers us to question the system in place. I believe in the justice system’s ability to evolve, and I am grateful for a society where we can challenge decisions and seek justice.”
According to Daily Mail, Kim, who passed California ‘s “baby bar” exam in 2021, ended her post by writing, “Never stop questioning.”
