Biggest questions Netflix viewers have ahead of Menendez brothers documentary
The infamous Menendez brothers' story, which was dramatised in a Netflix series, is set to be explored further in a new documentary on the streaming platform.
Promising a fresh perspective from the siblings who were incarcerated over three decades ago, the documentary will delve deeper into the high-profile crime that has captivated audiences.
Ryan Murphy's nine-part limited series, Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story, has intrigued viewers, but the upcoming documentary promises an even closer look. It will feature original crime scene footage, trial excerpts, interviews with key figures, and phone calls with the brothers from Donovan Correctional Facility.
Following the Monsters series, Netflix viewers are left with several questions ahead of the documentary's release on October 7.
One of the main questions is why the Menendez brothers killed their parents. The Netflix series examined various viewpoints from key figures involved in the case without pinpointing one definitive motive, reports the Mirror.
The prosecution argued that the crimes were motivated by money, while the defence claimed the boys were victims of abuse.
In the documentary's trailer, one of the brothers acknowledges this question and promising an answer.
Another lingering question is why they killed their mother.
Viewers are curious as to why the siblings also decided to murder their mother, Kitty Menendez.
Suggestions have been made that she was complicit in the alleged abuse that Lyle and Erik endured from their father, with claims that she was aware of it but did nothing to prevent it.
Despite the murders occurring in 1989 and the sentencing in 1996, viewers are eager to understand the current situation, as many feel that matters are still
