    #83: The Menendez Brothers

    On August 20, 1989, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez were shot to death in their Beverly Hills home. Nearly seven years, three trials, and many thousands of hours of TV coverage later, their sons, Lyle and Erik Menendez were found guilty of their murders and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. It is a controversial story as some believe their acts were due to years of abuse at the hands of their father and others believe it is fabricated. What are your thoughts?
