Killer brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez are back in the headlines after Netflix released the latest season of the anthology series “Monsters.” The privileged brothers killed their parents, Lyle and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home in 1989. But how many liberties did producers take in the fictional series? Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber separates fact from fiction.

12:25 100% false. The brothers absolutely left the house after the murders. They went to AMC Century City to try and get tickets to Batman but the theatre would only sell them tickets to the later show, as is shown in Monsters. They then also went to Taste of LA but were too late to meet their friend. When they returned home they could not believe that the neighbors had not called the police after the shootings, so they staged the 911 call.

I follow the case since it happened. I am disappointed that the brothers complain this much about the show. It's very well done and it's mostly true. It's a fictionalized case, so of course there will be things in it that didn't happen quite this way. The show helped the brother to motivate lots of empathy from people because nowadays we better understand trauma. They should be just grateful (as, apparently, privately they are). The should be freed, not because they didn't do something wrong but because they spent enough time in prison for killing their abusers.
