In this week's episode, Tom, Ben and Dan delve into the haunting case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, two wealthy brothers convicted of m*rdering their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in 1989. Raised in affluence but allegedly surrounded by abuse, the brothers' trial gripped America with shocking confessions, courtroom theatrics, and public fascination.
