Will The Menendez Brothers See Freedom Before Christmas?
from The Menendez Brothers: Quest For Justice · host Hidden Killers Podcast
What if the Menendez brothers really were victims before they became killers? With a new court date looming, Eric and Lyle Menendez may be walking free, decades after the brutal murder of their parents shocked the nation. Shavaun Scott, psychotherapist and author, dives into the societal shifts since the 1980s when the case unfolded, a time when abuse and trauma were misunderstood and rarely discussed—especially when it came to male victims.Now, as society reexamines what it means to be a "good" or "bad" person, will the Menendez brothers be seen in a new light? Could it be that society, in its black-and-white thinking, has failed to address deeper cycles of abuse? And if this is true, are we prepared for what this means for other cases yet to be reconsidered?Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
