Deep dives
The Menendez Case Overview
The Menendez brothers, Lyle and Eric, were convicted of murdering their wealthy parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989. Their case gained significant public attention due to its brutality, the family's wealth, and the dramatic courtroom dynamics. Initial perceptions leaned towards the idea of a motive rooted in financial gain, particularly a sizeable inheritance, as their behavior following the crime raised suspicions. As the legal proceedings unfolded, the focus shifted from merely the act of murder to exploring the psychological and emotional factors that may have been at play during the killings.
