In her column for NBC, Kardashian wrote that their case was “more complicated than it appears on the face of it” and argued that the siblings deserve empathy for the alleged abuse by their father.

“After years of abuse and genuine fear for their lives, Erik and Lyle chose what they thought at the time was the only way out; an unimaginable way to escape their living nightmare,” Kardashian said.

He said that after the jury deadlocked in the first trial, the judge ruled that most of the abuse allegations were inadmissible in the second trial.

At the time, Kardashian said, “The only way out of prison is death,” and wrote that their first televised trials became “entertainment for the nation” and were portrayed by the media as “monsters and glamorous sensationalists.” “Two arrogant, rich kids from Beverly Hills who killed their parents out of greed.”

“There was no room for empathy, let alone sympathy,” he said.

He claimed that the brothers “have no chance of a fair trial in this environment.”

Kardashian also talked about spending time with them in prison and claimed they had “exemplary disciplinary records.” Gascon also cited this as part of the reason for his anger on Thursday.

They “are not monsters. They are kind, intelligent and honest men,” he argued.

Kardashian also said that one of the prison guards told her that he would be comfortable with the brothers being neighbors.

While Kardashian called the killings of her parents “inexcusable”, she said the brothers were treated like “serial killers” rather than two men who were “sexually abused for years by people they loved and trusted”.

“I do not believe that spending their entire natural lives in prison is the appropriate punishment for this complex case. “If this crime were committed and tried today, I think the outcome would be very different.

“I also strongly believe that the denial of a fair second trial and the exclusion of significant evidence of misconduct denied Erik and Lyle the opportunity to fully present their cases and further undermined the fairness of their convictions.”

Kardashian too he told Variety He said earlier this week that he thought: “There was never a fair second trial, and since then I feel like when I watched Ryan Murphy’s show ‘Monsters’ it really opened up and showed me a lot about abuse. Imagine if no one believed you.”

He added, “The DA’s office really needs to right the wrong they made all those years ago. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be punished. It just means that I truly believe they deserve a second chance, and I really have wasted enough time.”

On Wednesday, Gascón said he would recommend 50 years to life in prison for each of the brothers, which would make them immediately eligible for parole under state law because they were under 26 at the time of the murders. “They’ve been in prison for about 35 years,” Gascon said. “I believe they have paid their debt to society.”

He added that resentencing must be approved by the court before it becomes official, and the parole board will still have to sign off on the inmates’ eventual release.
