In the new Netflix documentary, Lyle and Erik Menendez make surprising revelations about the murder of their parents.
In the new Netflix documentary, released on Monday, Lyle and Erik Menendez provide their version of the crime they committed and reveal surprising information about the murder of their parents.
The brothers, who are serving life sentences, spoke together for the first time about the murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in 1989, and everything that happened afterward.
In “The Menendez Brothers,” director Alejandro Hartmann uses recorded interviews with Lyle and Erik in prison, and for the first time in nearly 30 years, the brothers talk about the crime, their troubled relationship with their parents, the trials, and the conviction.
“Everyone asks why we killed our parents,” says Lyle; “Maybe now people can understand the truth.”
“It wasn’t us who told the story of our lives; what happened that night is very well known, but much has not been told,” Erik adds.
