The Netflix series, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story', dramatizes a major murder case but has faced criticism for its inaccurate depiction of events and facts.
In trial, the brothers asserted that their parents' abusive dynamics, particularly their father's violence, drove them to commit the heinous act, which was a crucial element of their defense.
Critics highlighted a significant discrepancy in the portrayal of the murder scene, emphasizing that José Menendez likely did not see his sons before being shot at point-blank range.
The depiction of the brothers fleeing to a theater for an alibi was criticized, as authorities revealed they initially told police they had been at a Los Angeles theater.
