Menendez brothers ‘deserve a break,’ says ex-mob boss who spent months with them in prison

Join Fox News for free access to select articles and premium content, including an interview with former mobster Michael Franzese, who spent time in solitary confinement with Lyle Menendez. The Menendez brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents in 1989, have been seeking reduced sentences after over 30 years in prison. Franzese believes they have served enough time and should be given a break. He empathizes with the brothers, who detailed the abuse they endured from their father. While he does not justify murder, he believes manslaughter charges would have been more appropriate for the brothers. The case has gained renewed attention with recent Netflix productions.
