Joan VanderMolen exclusively told Us Weekly why it 'doesn't make sense' for Erik and Lyle Menendez to stay in prison after resentencing decision
Kitty Menéndez’s sister, Joan VanderMolen, is cautiously optimistic that Erik Menéndez and Lyle Menéndez are headed for a prison release — and she couldn't be more supportive of her nephews.
“I am here for them,' VanderMolen told Us before weighing in on the chances of Erik, 53, and Lyle, 56, being granted parole. “It’s bound to happen. It doesn’t make sense for them not to be .' “I can imagine it happening,' VanderMolen noted, adding she “occasionally” speaks to the brothers as they serve time behind bars at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California. “They’ve been doing great since they’ve been in prison so that is not going to change.”
'I won't speak to whether have a plan . I just think that in order to get through each day, you've got to just ground yourself,' their attorney Mark Geragos told Us at a press conference earlier this month. 'It's a long road from life without for almost 17 years to being hopeful.'
