In a petition demanding a new hearing that could lead to a new trial, lawyer Cliff Gardner says he has irrefutable proof supporting the brothers' claims they were driven to kill by their predatory father José's repeated sexual abuse- testimony that was scorned by prosecutors at their 1993 murder trial.
"Erik and Lyle honestly believed they had to take action to save their lives," says the attorney. "That means they are culpable for manslaughter - not murder. And if that's the case, they should be released based on the time they've already served." But the argument could be a hard sell.
Erik, now 53, and Lyle, 56, were each convicted of firstdegree murder and sentenced to life without parole. The brothers used 12-gauge shotguns to blow away their mom, Kitty, and record exec dad in their Beverly Hills mansion!
José was hit six times. Kitty’s body was mauled by ten brutal blasts.
During sensational trials, prosecutors scoffed at the brothers’ claims they were the victims of horrific sexual and physical abuse at their father’s hands while their mom did nothing to help them.
Gardner insists a recently unearthed letter written by Erik and former boy bander Roy Rosselló’s new claim he was sexually abused by José prove the siblings’ story!
