Cooper Koch, who plays Erik Menéndez, emphasized the importance of discussing the themes of abuse and mental health stemming from the brothers' tragic story, aiming to provoke thoughtful conversations.
Both brothers have consistently claimed they suffered profound abuse at the hands of their parents, with Erik even revealing the ongoing sexual abuse from their father prior to the murders.
Following two deadlocked juries in their initial trial, the Menéndez brothers were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy, resulting in life sentences without parole.
Recent developments in their case include a habeas corpus petition that points to new allegations of abuse against their father, sparking additional scrutiny of their convictions.
