The Menendez Brothers: American Sons, American Murderers

The Menendez Brothers: American Sons, American Murderers revisits the Beverly Hills crime that shocked the nation in 1989 and the subsequent trial that condemned two brothers to life in prison for the murder of their parents.

When wealthy film executives José and Kitty Menendez were brutally killed, no one suspected that their own children were responsible. Soon after the murders, however, Lyle and Erik Menendez began spending their parents’ money on luxury items. Authorities eventually became suspicious, and the brothers confessed to the killings. Now, nearly three decades later, Lyle reflects on what was going through his and Erik’s minds on the night of the murders.
