Summary
Continuing our filmed mega Menendez marathon, in this episode we dive into the sensational details of Lyle and Erik’s trial – where these Beverly Hills bad boys would need to convince the jury, and the world, of their story.
We break down the explosive courtroom battles, shocking legal twists, and the media circus that turned the case into a spectacle – plus new bombshell revelations that could change everything for the brothers…
With 2024’s controversial Monsters TV show thrusting the case firmly back into the spotlight – and sparking a surge of renewed Menendez mania online – look no further to make sure you're fully caught up before Erik and Lyle’s long-awaited resentencing hearing this year.
Video version will be available Thursday 27th March on our YouTube channel
