the fact that he went back to the crime scene the next day and in the presence of a police officer searched the car and took evidence out of it is lowkey badass sorry

This woman has issues. Her constant snarky comments are nauseating. And her endless, “I believe you indicated….” drives me insane! She is the worst prosecutor I have ever seen. The jurors had to be over her! These guys endured a horrific life at the hands of these parents. They just snapped! I wish they had felt they could just get away but the fear their father drilled in their head is scary.

5 hours of prosecutor restating facts already stated. "Do you remember saying...." Restating everything is not an argument. It's just trying to trip up the defendant and reframe it with her own words. Lyle held up incredibly well.

2:43:28 "i'm not sure if he said anything helpful to me, but, uh, he was saying the truth about that"

At 3 hours 13, lyle explains very clearly how he felt that week, and listening to him explain its very obvious how he and eric were in fight or flight, which led to the killings. It is 💯 understandable having hrown up as they did with the parents they had, they lived their lives by having to read the room, something i relate to, their suffering from PTSD, sonething which back in the 90s wascnot even known about. They both deserve to be free, i pray they can experience freedom for the first time in their lives. Blessings to them both from Ireland

He’s patient with her beyond belief!! My gosh I would’ve had an attitude with her the entire time!!

Poor soul. Can't imagine being in their position and still keeping my composure they way they did, especially the way Lyle so coherently talked. Being so young, so abused and traumatized, and being dissected in public by these lowly prosecutors. Such a shame, such a waste of life for these truly special men. God bless them for all they've endured.

These brothers are really something else... I have endured the SAME things to the T they had the first 20 years of my life. My parents were like a copy of theirs! But I had no one by my side and just moved far away and cut all contact. Those creatures are still thriving... And I am all alone, watching the Menendez brother's trials. Forever grateful for their actions and openness though! They are SO well spoken and intelligent! Especially Lyle is such a clear headed, honest person. I would be a hot mess in their places with 18/21... I remember how angry and defeated I felt in my 20s... After all no one ever listened or protected me...

Please someone make a patetion to release the Menendez brothers. NO actor can cry like that... theres no way they were lying about the abuses they were facing. Poor kids honestly...

Did it never occur to Pam that Lyle might have been concerned about his mother's writings because she might have revealed in them that she sexually abused him???  No, because boys can't be sexually abused...Evil witch.

i literally cannot comprehend how he kept his calmness throughout all this with pam's b*tchy actitud and dumb questions. i actually admire him, i wish i was like that lol

"Were you in fear that day?" He was in fear ALL HIS LIFE until that day !!!!!! What stupid questions, stirring in these kids traumas, unbelievable.....

She just kept asking the same questions and pushing the same narrative. She couldn’t come up with something to discredit him cause he was honest and consistent

The fact that there were two different kinds of ammunition bought indicates to me there couldn't have been much planning involved.  If they'd planned this out ahead of time, why not just ask for the right kind of ammunition up front?  Why buy both birdshot and buckshot?  I've heard the theory that they were trying to torture the parents with the birdshot before killing them, but that doesn't make sense either because most of the shots were buckshot.

Lyle pulls away from Pam when she standing next to him

Those brothers were sickeningly abused by their parents and then abused by the disgraceful legal system.

36:15 Lyle flips over the crime scene photo of his dad that snake Pam purposely left on the stand in front of him! You can see him getting emotional. His eyes and brows always show when he's getting upset. Of both brothers Lyle, can't look at the crime scene pics nor the night it happened, he stated he never looked at them. Pam was using the crime scene pic to force him to look at it regarding the coffee table out of spite! He was very uncomfortable.

1:20:30 she doesn’t need to be surprised that people can be bright and actually think and come out with solutions to their miserable situation without much effort . Even when they are troubled and uncertain. Not necessarily they are psychopaths or cold and calculating. They just have a mind . Normal ! He said he didn’t want the police to know . That explains all other behaviors.

That prosecutors voice is sooooooo annoying like every word every sentence the most condescending speaking person that I’ve ever heard in my life you know she talks like that to this day bet she doesn’t have one single friend. In this world.!!!🌎 eeekkk ugh 😩 my ears hurt

3:07:21 Inspite of his somewhat better life at that moment, Lyle refused to leave his brother behind, he simply loved Eric like a true father figure, Lyle deserves all the love and appreciation and so does Eric, Eric's only blessing in his life was I think his brother Lyle. 😢❤
