Erik and Lyle Menendez and their legal team are making a full court press for freedom at next month’s hearing … and we’ve learned their star witnesses are people inside the prison.
The witnesses are two correctional officers, one education officer, a prison guard, a correctional lieutenant and another employee from the Dept. of Corrections … all of whom have crossed paths with Erik and Lyle during their three-plus decades behind bars.
Our sources say the prison staffers will testify Erik and Lyle have been rehabilitated and have been model prisoners who not only worked on themselves, but helped other inmates improve their lives as well.
Lyle launched the program, dubbed Green Space, in 2018 … and the project includes murals of San Diego landmarks … with Erik serving as the lead painter. Their vision also calls for outdoor classrooms, training areas for service dogs and meeting spaces for rehab groups.
TMZ obtained the victims’ letter, in which Jose and Kitty’s family members say it would help their healing process to see Erik and Lyle freed. It’s interesting … the family members are considered victims, since they’re related to Kitty and Jose, and we’re told several may testify.
