Summary
Mark Geragos, attorney for Erik and Lyle Menendez, discusses how recent evidence could move the court to consider a new trial for the brothers. Roy Rosselló, a former member of Menudo, came forward in April with allegations that he was sexually assaulted as a teenager by Jose Menendez in the docuseries Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed. Additionally, a letter written by Erik Menendez to his cousin eight months before he and his brother Lyle killed their parents at the family’s Beverly Hills mansion, corroborates allegations of sexual abuse the brothers have consistently said prompted the slayings.

| 0:00.0 | I love my kid, but is a new comedy parenting podcast from Wondry that shares a refreshingly |
| 0:05.3 | honest and insightful take on parenting. Each week, the host will share a parenting story that'll |
| 0:10.1 | have you laughing and thinking, yes, I have absolutely been there. Listen to, I love my kid, |
| 0:16.3 | but on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:24.6 | Welcome back for another episode of Reality Life with KKC. |
| 0:27.7 | In today's episode, I interviewed famed attorney Mark Garagos about his clients, Eric and |
| 0:33.4 | Lyle Menendez. There is new evidence that may move a court to consider a new trial for the |
| 0:39.3 | brothers. I have long been interested in this case as long time listeners know. And before I get |
| 0:46.0 | into the background of the case, I just wanted to forewarn you if kids are listening that this might |
| 0:50.4 | not be the best episode for them. Okay, so here is the background. On August 20th, 1989, Jose |
| 0:57.6 | and Mary, Kitty Menendez, are sitting in the den of their Beverly Hills mansion when they were |
| 1:02.4 | shot to death with 15 rounds from two 12 gauge shotguns. Given the severity of the crimes, police |

| 1:27.8 | Kitty Menendez and their sons trial became one of the most famous criminal cases of the late 20th |
| 1:34.0 | century. And what made the story so compelling was that the Menendez family were seemingly living |
| 1:40.0 | the American dream. Jose was born in Cuba, emigrated to the United States after the Cuban |
| 1:45.7 | Revolution of the 1950s, living in the attic of a cousin's home until he earned a college scholarship |
| 1:52.4 | for swimming. With his good looks and charm, he was able to marry Kitty, a beauty-paget queen. |
| 1:59.6 | They married in 1963 and moved to New York City where Jose earned an accounting degree from |
