Menendez Brothers’ “get out of jail free” card? New Netflix series 'Monsters' gives them hope for a new future

Lyle and Erik Menendez, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, are seeking a new trial, citing newly uncovered evidence. Their defense lawyer, Mark Geragos, filed a petition in May 2023, presenting testimony of alleged sexual abuse by their father. The case, brought back into the spotlight by Netflixs Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, has sparked renewed debate about their guilt and whether a retrial could change the brothers' fate.
