Lyle and Eric Menendez fire 12-gauge shotguns at their parents, Jose and Kitty, taking both of their lives.

They are murderers, plain and simple.

A deep dive into this case sparks some interesting discussions about our justice system,

and more poignantly, our prison system.

But now, shocking interrogation tapes reveal how the Super Cup really operates.

And that's why they ask me to come in, because I'm special.
