Plot Synopsis

MENENDEZ BROTHERS: VICTIMS OR VILLAINS is a four-part documentary that features never-before-heard and exclusive sound from Lyle Menendez from prison, along with interviews with the Menendez brothers' lawyer Mark Geragos, and the prosecutor on the case Pamela Bozanich.

In August 1989 brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez shot and killed their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez in Beverly Hills for what was believed at the time to be an opportunity to obtain their $14 million dollar inheritance. In 1996, the brothers were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole. However, Lyle and Erik's attorneys argued they killed their parents out of self-defense and claimed they faced years of emotional and physical abuse. Now, after two trials, a massive cultural reckoning and the emergence of new evidence, the notorious crime story is reexamined in this special with the voices closest to the case.

All four episodes of MENENDEZ BROTHERS: VICTIMS OR VILLAINS dropped on Monday, March 25, 2024 on Fox Nation.
