00:00are in jail and trying to get them justice if she feels like there's been a miscarriage of justice
00:04and she's been supporting the Menendez brothers we've talked about of course they have a Netflix
00:08documentary um where are we with her support for them and where they are the two brothers of course
00:13well there you know there were developments overnight in California and those developments
00:19where the the judge uh re-sentenced the Menendez brothers so they were initially life without
00:26possibility of parole now they've been re-sentenced between 50 years and life imprisonment but because
00:33they were under 26 when they committed the crime that now means that their case can be heard before
00:39the California parole board and ultimately it's up to the state governor and I call Gavin Newsom
00:45to decide whether or not he should accept that they are suitable for parole but you're quite right Ben
00:51Kim Kardashian very quickly said we should be thinking about what's happened to the Menendez
00:57brothers because as we've discussed there now a great deal of evidence has come forward in relation
01:03to the sexual abuse they experienced at the hands of their father who was a music mogul and indeed
01:09independent testimony about that um sexual offense his sexual offending came forward from one of the
01:15boy bands that he used to be in charge of so her influence could lead to them finally getting
01:22parole even though the initial sentencing was they were never going to get parole absolutely and already
01:27she's been successful in getting a grandmother out of prison uh who served 20 years for committing
01:33a non-violent offense she was selling drugs and effectively by Kim Kardashian taking up this woman's
01:39case she was able to get President Trump during his first presidency to grant her clemency and indeed
01:46it was Kim Kardashian herself who phones the woman to say you're you've been pardoned you're going to be
01:53released from jail wow the Kardashian effect I know she's quite a force isn't she yeah amazing David

02:03going to chat to you a little bit later on we love it thank you all right then after the break
