A podcast and television producer interviews criminology professor, Brandon Golob from the University of California, Irvine, to examine the impacts society and the media had on the Erik and Lyle Menendez case then, and now. What led the public to believe their case was just an  'abuse excuse?' What was going on in society back then? Now in 2024, we ask ourselves, should the brothers be released from prison? We unpeel the layers behind the new evidence that's getting examined in November  that may release the brothers from prison, and uncover what narratives helped put the men behind bars in the first place. We analyze the role online sleuths, and Netflix plays on how we consume true crime media, and what the backing of Kim Kardashian means for this case, and society as a whole.
