Monsters star Cooper Koch has revealed that he recently spoke to an “excited” Erik Menendez following the reduction of his and his brother, Lyle’s, prison sentences.
Koch, 28, starred as Erik in Ryan Murphy’s hit series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which detailed the brothers’ brutal 1989 murder of their parents. The two have since been serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for their crimes. However, earlier this month, a judge reduced their sentences to 50 years to life, which will make them eligible for parole under California’s youthful offender law because they committed the crime under the age of 26.
