In this gripping episode of True Crime: The Court of Public Opinion, we dive into one of the most controversial cases in modern history: the Menendez brothers. Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted of the brutal murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty, but their story is far from straightforward. Were they driven by greed, or were their actions influenced by years of alleged abuse and trauma?
Join me, Alexis Knight, as we unpack the facts, the psychological complexities, and the evolving understanding of trauma and PTSD over the last three decades. You’ll want to listen all the way to the end, where the most important arguments are laid out, challenging you to decide for yourself: Were the Menendez brothers truly victims of their circumstances, or were they calculating killers?
Stay tuned to the end, because your opinion may shift by the time the episode concludes. Was justice truly served, or is there more to the story?
