As pressure mounts to reevaluate the Menendez brothers’ 1996 convictions, Milton Andersen, the 90-year-old uncle of Lyle and Erik Menendez, has come forward with a fierce rebuttal: “They were never abused.” Andersen, brother of Kitty Menendez, insists the brothers killed their parents out of greed, not desperation. “He believes that the abuse claims are fabricated,” Andersen’s lawyer, Kathy Cady, stated. Meanwhile, LA County DA George Gascón weighs fresh evidence, including letters from Erik alleging long-term abuse by his father. The divided family presented their own claims of buried evidence in hopes of securing freedom for the brothers, who maintain they acted out of fear for their lives.
