Erik Menéndez’s Daughter Updates Fans On The Menéndez Brothers’ Ongoing Appeal

The Netflix series ‘Monsters’ may have been harshly received by the audience and the Menéndez family – seriously, some are suggesting they should release the brothers from prison and replace them with ‘Monsters’ creator Ryan Murphy – but it’s redirecting attention to their case.

For those of us who aren’t acquainted with their story, Lyle and Erik Menéndez were sentenced to life in prison for murdering their parents at age 21 and 18 respectively. At the time, they claimed that their motivation to commit the crimes stemmed from a childhood with a sexually abusive father and an enabling mother.

Luckily, after spending decades in prison, the public perception is skewering towards their defence. Let’s hope the judge and the jury’s does too.

In May 2023, Lyle and Erik Menéndez reopened their case when they appealed their life sentences amid the discovery of new evidence. In latest updates, Erik’s daughter Talia revealed that the brothers will be getting a decision on their appeal within 60 days.

“As everyone knows, there was new evidence proving the abuse endured after decades of not being believed and that evidence had been excluded from the retrial,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I’m praying the DA / judge has compassion not only for what my dad and uncle endured but also the fact that all of us family wants them home,” she added. “Almost 35 years is enough time locked away. They have spent more time incarcerated than alive in the real world. Let that sink in. Set them free!”

In another update, Talia continued, “I noticed a lot of DMs I’m getting being confused about what the decisions could ultimately be from the DA. Option 1) Time served & they would prepare for release Option 2) 3-5 years more Option 3) Immediately go to the parole board › not a great option & case will become political Option 4) No change. LWOP sentence still stands.”

“Praying they get time served for 35 years and are released!” she added.

Both brothers got married while in prison. At present, the brothers are being interviewed from prison for new insights into the murder case for an upcoming Netflix documentary.

So what do you think? Do the brothers deserve leniency or do you think they haven’t suffered enough for their crimes?
