Summary
In this gripping episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell unravel the chilling case of Lyle and Erik Menendez — the brothers whose brutal murder of their wealthy parents shocked America in 1989. Was it an act of cold-blooded greed, or the desperate response of two young men pushed beyond endurance? The Wansells explore the background of the family, the sensational trial that captivated the world, and the lingering questions about abuse, justice, and the blurred line between victim and perpetrator.
