Sharon Osbourne supports keeping Menendez brothers in prison as they seek release
Sharon Osbourne and her son Jack believe Erik and Lyle Menendez should remain in prison. They expressed this view after being asked about the brothers' potential release, citing the severity of their crime—killing their parents with shotguns. The Menendez brothers are seeking to be released after nearly 35 years in prison. They have a court hearing upcoming that could lead to resentencing or changes to their convictions. If that fails, they plan to ask California Governor Gavin Newsom for sentence commutation. Judge Judy also commented, stating she had nothing positive to say about the Menendez brothers. The Osbournes and Judge Judy's opinions suggest a strong opposition to any changes in the brothers' legal status.
