In August, 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez killed their parents in their posh, Beverly Hills home. Their first trial ended in a hopelessly deadlocked jury, unable to reach a unanimous decision. The second trial resulted in two murder-one convictions and sentences of life without parole. Thirty-five years later, it appears they may be released from prison. Did they commit murder to get their hands on a 14-million-dollar estate or was it self-defense to prevent continued physical and sexual abuse and their own murders? New evidence has come to light which may back up the claims of abuse. Should they be released? Listen to this episode and find out.
