A Look At The Key Moments In New 'The Menendez Brothers' Netflix Doc

Thirty-five years after their parents' murders, Erik and Lyle Menendez are finally speaking out. The brothers, currently serving life sentences, are providing their perspective on the events that led to the killings and the subsequent trials. This includes details about their disbelief that they weren't immediately considered suspects despite lacking an alibi and having gunpowder residue on their hands, their lavish spending spree after the murders which they claim was a coping mechanism rather than enjoyment, and Lyle's belief that his arrest was staged for the media.

The brothers also discuss the impact of the O.J. Simpson trial on their case, the judge's decision to exclude evidence of their alleged sexual abuse, and the jury's limited verdict options. Erik blames himself for the murders, believing he failed to protect Lyle, while Lyle expresses regret for naively believing he could confront their father and expect a different reaction from their mother. The brothers' story is a complex and controversial one that continues to captivate the public.
