Episode list

Looks at a horrific murder scene, with wealthy, innocent parents as the victims and their attractive sons as the culprits.

After the prosecution rests, the defence launches its case: years of brutal torture leaves Lyle and Erik Menendez so terrified that they believe they have no alternative but to kill or be killed.

Judge Stanley Weisberg allows the jurors to hear a tape recording made by Erik's therapist, which was recorded five months after the parents' murder.

In the brothers' retrial, a new prosecution tactic is backed by a judge who is more willing to rule in favour of the DA the second time around. The resulting verdict remains controversial to this day.
