On the night of Sunday, August 20, 1989, Jose Menendez, a powerful music executive and his wife Kitty were found shot to death in their Beverly Hills mansion. Their two sons, Lyle and Erik, were ultimately convicted of their murders and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But was this an act of cold blooded murder, or were the boys justified in their actions? Today we deep dive into the true story of the Menendez brothers to try to make sense of what REALLY happened and more importantly, why it happened.
