The Menendez brothers are reportedly receiving a massive amount of autograph requests on a rare ’90s NBA trading card of Mark Jackson that they appear on.

In one of the world’s most notable and highly-publicized trials, brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted in 1996 for the 1989 murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty”. The story of the Menendez Brothers was portrayed in the new Netflix nine-episode series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

Lyle and Erik Menendez appeared on a rare 1990 NBA trading card of then-New York Knicks superstar Mark Jackson. The two can be seen seated courtside to the left of Jackson (in the blue/white cap and the light blue shirt):

Following the spike in their notoriety from the Netflix series, TMZ reports that the Menendez Brothers have since started to receive a plethora of autograph requests from fans. More specifically, fans are asking for the bothers to autograph the 1990 Mark Jackson trading card:

“A source with knowledge at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego tells TMZ … the infamous brothers have seen a “huge” increase in mail from fans (and, of course, some haters) thanks to wild interest in Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

Perhaps the most interesting item the brothers are being sent … 1990-91 Hoops Mark Jackson NBA cards — the brothers are on the card, snapped sitting in the Knicks crowd, after the murders, before their arrests — and people want ’em autographed.”

The trial and subsequent conviction of the Menendez brothers sparked massive debates around the world. Erik, Lyle and the defense argued that they committed the murders because they experienced years of sexual and physical abuse from their father. They claimed that their mother knew about the abuse but refused to try and put a stop to it.

The Menendez brothers claimed that they killed their parents because they feared for their lives and didn’t think there was another way out. The first trial was a mistrial, but they were ultimately sentenced to life in prison after a second trial.

New Evidence To Be Reviewed & May Free Menendez Brothers

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is looking into new evidence that may grant the Menendez brothers a new trial. Roy Rosselló, a member of the Menudo band, alleges that he was drugged and raped by José when he was a teenager.

The two brothers could be granted a retrial or a new sentencing. Either scenario could alow them to walk free after spending nearly three decades in prison.
