Jesse Weber, anchor and host at the Law & Crime Network, joins Elie Honig to discuss the criminal cases of brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of first-degree murder in the ‘90s for killing their parents. Did they have a legitimate claim of imperfect self-defense based on imminent danger? Should evidence of sexual abuse been fully admissible? And should the emergence of new evidence prompt a reevaluation of the convictions?
