Docuseries to Include New Exclusive Sound
from Imprisoned Lyle Menendez and the Brothers’ Defense Attorney
Mark Geragos
Judge Jeanine Pirro to Front ‘The Menendez
Brothers: Monsters or Misunderstood?’ Roundtable
FOX Nation will release an exclusive four-part docuseries
entitled “Menendez Brothers: Victims or Villains” on Monday, March
25th, announced Lauren Petterson, its president. The series will
feature never-before-heard and exclusive sound from Lyle Menendez
from prison, along with interviews with the Menendez brothers’
lawyer Mark Geragos, and the prosecutor on the case
Pamela Bozanich. Additional contributions are made
throughout from comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell, who
conducted a 2023 interview with Lyle Menendez from prison, radio
personality Adam Carolla and former Saturday Night Live cast
member Darrell Hammond, who has advocated for the pair’s
release from prison.
In conjunction with the series, The Five co-host Judge Jeanine
Pirro, former Westchester County District Attorney and the first
woman to prosecute murder cases there, will host key discussions
breaking down the Menendez case with crucial figures on both sides
of the trial. Pirro will present a sit-down interview with Geragos
to discuss the defense attorney’s fight to overturn the life
convictions and whether a letter outlining allegations of abuse
could bolster the brothers' self-defense claim. Separately, Pirro
will moderate a panel including the supervising detective on the
case, Thomas Edmonds, who will outline why he believes the killings
were in cold blood and the convictions should stand. Additional
panelists will include FOX News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett and
psychologist Caryn Stark.
In making the announcement, Petterson said, “This docuseries
explores one of the most high-profile explosive murder cases of our
time. As new evidence has been uncovered over the years, we are
thrilled to add this captivating true crime series to FOX Nation’s
library.”
In August 1989 brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez shot and killed
their parents, José and Kitty Menendez in Beverly Hills for what
was believed at the time to be an opportunity to obtain their $14
million dollar inheritance. In 1996, the brothers were convicted of
first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole. However,
Lyle and Erik’s attorneys argued they killed their parents out of
self-defense and claimed they faced years of emotional and physical
abuse.
Now, after two trials, a massive cultural reckoning and the
emergence of new evidence, the notorious crime story is reexamined
in this special with the voices closest to the case. Developed and
produced for FOX Nation, Pilgrim Media Group and Los Angeles
Magazine Studios, the series was executive produced by Craig
Piligian, Nicole Rittenmeyer, Scott Eldridge, Nicholas Caprio,
Shane Farley, Chris Hannan and Adam Carolla.
