In this episode we discuss the Menendez family, focusing on the parents, Jose and Kitty, and their two sons, Lyle and Eric. Jose was a wealthy and successful man, while Kitty was a homemaker. However, behind the facade of a perfect family, there were dark secrets. Both Lyle and Eric were sexually abused by their father from a young age, and the abuse continued until shortly before the murders. The conversation also touches on the financial aspect of the case, as Jose's estate was worth millions of dollars, but the whereabouts of the money remains unknown. The principal themes of the conversation include the abusive upbringing of the Menendez brothers, their pursuit of tennis as a sport, their extravagant spending after the murders, the lack of consequences in their lives, the premeditation of the murders, the involvement of Dr. Jerome Oziel, and the defense strategy during the trial. In this final part of the conversation, we discuss the trials and convictions of the Menendez brothers. We explore the jury's inability to reach a verdict in the first trial, the exclusion of sexual abuse testimony in the second trial, and the brothers' ultimate conviction for first-degree murder. We also discuss the possibility of a retrial based on new evidence of sexual abuse. The conversation concludes with some interesting tidbits.
