THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS
from The Verdict Vault Hosted by Riana
THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS: COLDBLOODED KILLERS, OR SURVIVORS OF ABUSE? Join me as I dive deep into the extremely complex case of Erik and Lyle Menendez-- two brothers from Beverly Hills who fully admit to murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty, back in August 1989. At the time of the murders, Lyle was 21 years old and Erik was just 18. They claim they killed out of fear and self defense, after enduring a lifetime of sexual abuse at the hands of their father. But, prosecutors believe they are coldblooded killers-- eliminating their parents so they could get their hands on a $14 million estate. In this episode, I delve into the background of this seemingly "perfect" family, what really went on behind closed doors, & everything that led up to the murders and the highly sensationalized trials. I also give a recent update on the brothers' possible chance at freedom. Make sure to follow me on TIKTOK and IG: @verdictvaultpodcast Thank you for listening! xoxxoxoxo, Riana
