Erik and Lyle, convicted in 1996 for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, claim they acted out of fear due to years of sexual abuse by their father.
LYLE and Erik Menendez have revealed their true feelings about Ryan Murphy's hit Netflix show about them and their murder of their parents.
He acknowledged that Monsters “really did actually move a lot of people to understand the childhood trauma that Erik and I suffered, and particularly the horrific stuff that Erik suffered.”.
Hochman, however, cast doubt on their testimony, stating: “Sexual abuse in this situation may have been a motivation for Erik and Lyle to do what they did, but it does not constitute self-defense.”.
While the trial request has been denied, a March hearing on re-sentencing could still offer the Menendez brothers a path to parole after 35 years behind bars.
