Official trailer for 'MONSTERS: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' based on the true story of the Menendez brothers. The show is the newest addition to Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's anthology series.
Now that TikTok, Netflix, Ryan Murphy, Kim Kardashian, and public sentiment are working to free the Menendez Brothers — convicted in 1996 for brutally murdering their parents — it's also critical to remember why they were sentenced to life without parole.On the night of August 20, 1989, as their parents José and Kitty were watching TV in their Beverly Hills mansion, Lyle and Erik Menendez each took a 12-gauge shotgun and fired multiple rounds into their parents.
Not so. The evidence shows clear premeditation and the brothers' deliberate actions, immediately after the slayings, to create an alibi and dispose of all incriminating evidence. But does that justify premeditated murder? Does that mean we, or the legal system, should now believe every claim of these men who are proven liars? and Erik with their parents José and Kitty.)
Months after the murders, while talking with his therapist Dr. Jerome Oziel – an admittedly comprised character who later gave up his license after breaching professional ethics – Erik confessed. It seems notable, however, that the brothers' attorney Leslie Abramson, whose so-called 'abuse excuse' defense in the first trial resulted in a hung jury, refused to be interviewed by Netflix.That, to my mind, is quite damning. If the world is finally coming around to a defense that had, at the time, been considered laughable — well, why not take your victory lap?
