The Menendez Brothers' Fight for Freedom, from Crime Scene Weekly

Introducing a new podcast for the true crime-obsessed: "The Crime Scene Weekly", from our friends at ABC Audio. Every Wednesday, "The Crime Scene Weekly" brings you the latest in true crime. ABC News correspondent Brad Mielke sits down with the journalists covering the cases who have direct access to survivors, investigators and families searching for answers. And they’re bringing their insights right to you. In this episode, Brad talks to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman about the resentencing effort in the 35-year-old case of the Menendez brothers, Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were charged with the murder of their parents in 1989. You’ll hear how social stigmas about masculinity and power factored into the original sentencing of the case, and get insights into the brothers’ present-day fight for their freedom.
