Tue Sep 24 03:55:02 UTC 2024: ## Menendez Brothers Speak Out in New Netflix Documentary
The Menendez brothers, convicted of killing their parents in 1989, are sharing their side of the story in a new Netflix documentary, “The Menendez Brothers: The Truth Behind the Murders,” premiering on October 7th.
The documentary features phone interviews recorded in 15-minute increments from prison phones with Lyle and Erik Menendez, who discuss their motivations for the crime. “Everyone asks why we killed our parents. Maybe now people can understand the truth,” says Lyle in the trailer. Erik adds, “What happened that night is very well known but so much hasn’t been told.”
This documentary follows the release of the Ryan Murphy series “Monsters,” a fictionalized account of the Menendez brothers’ story, which the brothers themselves have criticized for its portrayal. The documentary gives the brothers a platform to share their own perspective on the events that led to the tragic murder of their parents, offering viewers a deeper understanding of their motivations and the story behind the headline-making case.
