Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things, Dominic Dunn.

Thank you for joining me for Act 2 of the first trial of the Menendez brothers.

What other parts of the stage is our man Nick setting through the prosecution phase of the trial in the summer of 1993.

We have a few more characters to add into Dominic Dunn's courtroom notebook this week,

including the friends and family of Lyle and Eric Menendez, as well as the remainder of the

state's case. I do find this original

coverage fascinating from Dominic Dunn, as currently the Menendez case is being litigated again

these 35 years later. In the press surrounding the current day happenings, you will see many of

these same characters so many years on.

is in Dominic's notebook? Let's investigate. Oh, I really do love what Dominic does in this piece with setting the scene in a cast of characters.

We are still within his October 1993, Dominic Dunn's courtroom notebook, and all his thematic elements from Act 1 remain.

Let's talk about some of the witnesses for the prosecution, the friends of Lyle and Eric Menendez.

First in our journey today, Eric's bestie and writing partner Craig Signorelli.

Dominic Dunn writes, during the lunch break a few days earlier,

I was all alone in the corridor outside the courtroom, going over my notes. A young man came up

and introduced himself as Craig Signorelli. Of course, I knew who he was. He had been Eric Menendez's best friend. Three years ago,

I had tried to interview him without success. His family had sent him out of town to avoid the publicity.

Now, I asked the young man who was due to testify as a prosecution witness the next day to sit down and talk.
