Lyle Menendez and Erik Menendez, collectively referred to as the Menendez brothers, are American brothers and convicted murderers who killed their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home in 1989. The defense argued that the brothers killed their parents out of fear their father would kill them after years of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. Meanwhile, the prosecution claimed that the motive was to inherit their father's multimillion-dollar estate.
I’ve sure you’ve all seen SOMETHING on the Menendez brothers at this point. Let’s discuss what took place in 1989 and how biased I believe the system was - with sexual abuse against men at the time.
You know I have to chat about my blondest moment of the week, pre case.
