Lyle and Erik enjoyed a privileged life in one of the most exclusive areas of Los Angeles.

However, testimony revealed a dark reality hidden behind the doors of their mansion.

During the Menéndez brothers’ trials, chilling details about the alleged physical and sexual abuse they suffered since childhood at the hands of their father came to light.

Lyle, the older brother, recounted how he was subjected to sexual abuse starting at age 8, and how both he and Erik lived in constant fear.

Some witnesses claimed that seeing the boys with bruises and severe physical punishment was common.

However, the prosecution presented a completely different hypothesis: the brothers acted with premeditation to inherit their father’s fortune.

The trial turned into a media spectacle that divided public opinion.

The Menendez brothers claimed they killed their parents out of fear that their father, once exposed for the abuse, would kill them first.

Lyle and Erik revealed that they lived in a constant state of fear.

But was it that fear that led them to pull the trigger, or did they act out of ambition to claim the inheritance?

Laura Quiñones Urquiza, an expert in criminal profiling, explores the details of the crime.

She questions whether, in facing their monsters, the Menendez brothers became what they feared, or if they truly acted as victims caught in an imperfect defense.
