The Menendez Bros Finale

Emash Digital / Wondery
About this episode

This is the continuation and finale to the Menendez brothers murder saga. In episode one we covered the background of the family and the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez. In episode two we cover the arrest of Lyle and Erik Menendez and the circumstances around each arrest.

Then we dive into the circus that was the trial of Lyle and Erik Menendez. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the evidence against the brothers and the shocking revelations that come out during the trial that will become the basis for their defense. Lyle and Erik take the stand during the trial and both their actions and words have to be examined. The case put forth by the prosecution and the stance taken by the defense has to be dissected.
