Ryan Murphy's Netflix series 'Monster' returns to explore the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted in 1996 for murdering their parents. The series promises to dive deep into the controversial aspects of the case, including the claims of abuse that the brothers cited during their trials.
The Menendez brothers shot their parents multiple times in their Beverly Hills home. Initially, they told authorities they found them dead upon returning from a movie.
During their trial, the brothers admitted to the murders but claimed they acted out of fear and self-defense from years of alleged abuse at the hands of their parents.
Supporters of Lyle and Erik testified about the brothers' history of abuse, indicating that their motivations were complex and layered, a detail likely to be emphasized in the new season.
