’96 Menendez Trial Juror Says Brothers Profit From White Privilege, and Kim Okay

A juror within the 1996 Menendez brothers’ homicide trial says the shotgun-wielding brothers share the advantage of being well-known and having white privilege … in addition to the help of one of the vital recognizable faces on this planet — Kim Kardashian!

And that is why, the juror tells TMZ, Erik and Lyle Menendez may obtain clemency and in the end get launched from a California jail … after serving a long time behind bars for shootings their dad and mom, Jose and Kitty, to demise of their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989.

The juror, who spoke on the situation of anonymity, tells TMZ … freedom is actually a risk for the brothers given the truth that Erik and Lyle are “well-known, white-looking, or attractive.”

In recent times, the siblings have made a powerful push to get their sentences overturned primarily based on plenty of arguments — together with new proof of alleged sexual abuse by their dad and mom — and now it appears they’re creeping nearer to freedom.

And so they have the backing of Kim Okay, who the juror believes does not actually care about different, lesser-known inmates … even though Kim has proven help prior to now for non-famous criminals.

Kim argues the trial and sentencing “were more befitting a serial killer than two individuals who endured years of sexual abuse by the very people they loved and trusted.”

At trial, the brothers maintained they shotgunned their dad and mom due to years of sexual and bodily abuse all through their childhood. However, the juror advised TMZ … the abuse allegations weren’t an “element of the crime” they thought of after they had been in deliberations.

The juror notes … “Some jurors were mixed regarding the sexual abuse argument, but we didn’t need to agree on the sexual abuse in order to agree on first-degree murder.”

The juror says he doesn’t help or oppose the brothers’ potential launch … however wish to see them use their star energy to assist sexual abuse victims or wrongfully convicted individuals, in the event that they do get sprung.

Final week, Lyle and Erik’s resentencing listening to bought pushed … the choose will tackle the admissibility of the parole board’s danger evaluation report on the brothers. Their subsequent listening to is scheduled for Might 9.
