In their two highly publicized trials, the brothers admitted to the shotgun murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez, but claimed they acted in self-defense after their parents physically, mentally and sexually abused them for years. Their true motive was to cash in "early" on their large inheritance. However, the legal strategy of "blaming the parents for their own deaths" did not sway the juries for Lyle Menendez or Erik Menendez. Both young men were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Fast forward to 2022. The infamous double murder case is back in the spotlight after questions arise around whether the murderous brothers, Lyle Menendez and Eric Menendez, should still be behind bars for the murder of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. However, the brothers have run out of legal appeals, so it is believed that the only chance they would have for an early release from prison at this point would be if new evidence from the 30+ year-old murders were to surface.
