CA v. MENENDEZ (1993): Lyle Menendez takes the stand

WATCH the FULL TRIAL: CA v. Lyle & Erik Menendez (1993) | #CourtTVArchive www.courttv.com/trials/ca-v-menendez-1993/?utm_sou…

the fact that national television made fun of these two boys is insanee.....

Okay they literally have proof that the father took naked photos of them when they were children, they were clearly abused. I’m literally sick to my stomach. They should be set free, they have suffered long enough.

The jury in this trial should be ashamed of themselves. These boys were tortured their whole lives and reacted out of trauma. This is NOT about money.

It’s unbelievable how after these brothers exposed themselves in front of everybody, they still got punished. So heartbreaking.

his face changed and he looked happy when talking about his grandparents

These two should be pardoned now. They done enough time.

As a kid growing up people portrayed these boys like they were Ted Bundy. I don't remember ever being told they were abused. It was all about how they had wanted money from their parents. I've spent most if my life studying the behaviors of killers, the difference between hot and cool empathy. There is no lie in this testimony. I hurt for those boys. They deserved better.

He’s very calm, polite, well spoken and handsome. He and his brother were undoubtedly abused sexually, emotionally and physically. It’s so unfair for them to be in prison. Let’s get these men out of prison!!! Let’s free them!

these boys are not murderers, they are victims and that wasn't a murder, it was justice!!!!!

"Why'd you want to make your dad happy?" "So he would love me" Damn that's so sad, these poor boys

Its so clear that lyle didnt want to talk about the sexual abuse and he was struggling really hard. And after all that shameful secret they shared to public they still had to spend their whole life in prison? That is so not fair.

signs of an emotionally abusive mother: • constantly criticizing the child • blaming the child for adult problems • rejecting the child repeatedly • dismissing the child's feelings • deliberately causing the child emotional pain • ridiculing the child or mocking them • humiliating or publicly shaming the child • calling the child names • getting angry at the child often • yelling or swearing at the child • threatening to harm the child or their friends / siblings / pets • gaslighting / manipulating the child • withholding love, support, and guidance • neglecting to care for the child • allowing the child to witness domestic violence and abuse

Still can’t believe these boys were sentenced to life without parole. They were victims

Lyle did not have childhood AT ALL....

1:19:06 please when he said sorry it broke my heart. He should not be sorry for getting upset over having to relive tragic and horrible memories of things his father did to him! Free them!!!

When Lyle is saying what his mom would say to him and he physically chokes back his tears, that was one of the more controlled and sad things I’ve ever seen.

This case is such a tragedy, the boys were victims of their parents and than victims of the justice. Very sad

I just heard of this case. Anyone who could watch this and believe that they were lying doesn't have a beating heart.

When Lyle tells Erik that he's sorry - the feedback and the trauma between these two, this is something you just cannot fake. It is absolutely horrible what happened to these two, I wish they could have found a better way out than to murder so that they could truly heal and live their lives.
