Netflix Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (2024)
- Thread starter Infamous114
- Start date
Joseph Lyle Menéndez (born January 10, 1968) and Erik Galen Menéndez (born November 27, 1970) are American brothers who were convicted in 1996 of the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menéndez.
During the trial, the brothers stated that they committed the murders out of fear that their father would kill them, after they threatened to expose him for years of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, while the prosecution argued that they did it to inherit their father's multimillion-dollar estate. They were first tried, separately, with one jury for each brother. Both juries deadlocked, however, which resulted in a mistrial. For the second trial, they were tried together, by a single jury, which found them guilty. As a result, they were sentenced to life imprisonment, without the possibility of parole.
