The informant added that Erik and Lyle, who will have a resentencing trial in December, are "truly grateful for all that Kim has done for them so far."

They continued that Kim has brought "a powerful, high-profile voice to their cause, and she's been unwavering in her commitment."

The prison reform advocate has been very vocal about the convicted killers' release amid renewed interest in the brothers following Ryan Murphy's adaption, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
