In 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents, José and Kitty, in Beverly Hills. After being convicted, the brothers argued the killings were in self-defense due to years of abuse. They were recently resentenced to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole.
Gee Scott, co-host of “The Gee and Ursula Show” on KIRO Newsradio, was outraged the brothers may get a chance at parole.
“I tell you what you can be re-sentenced in another life, but this life you need to stay and live in prison,” Gee told “Seattle’s Morning News” Wednesday. “I want to say again, you killed your mama and your daddy, and then you dared to say you were touched.”
Gee Scott believes Menendez brothers should not get parole
The Menendez family has supported the brothers and advocated for their release since their resentencing efforts began last fall. Prosecutors, who opposed the brothers’ resentencing, did not call any witnesses. They argue the brothers have not fully taken responsibility for their crimes.
“Imagine getting a reward for being a decent person,” Gee said. “Well, stay in prison, and I’ll tell you what in the next life, wherever you think you’re going afterwards, then you have that opportunity.”
