Menendez Brothers, A new characteristic-length documentary at the brothers, their crime, and the shocking trial that made headlines was launched by using the streaming service a few weeks after the rather a hit Netflix collection “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” seemed.

The 1989 murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez are narrated via the sons Lyle and Erik in Alejandro Hartmann’s film “The Menendez Brothers.” The brothers participated in the documentary along with many other family members and witnesses from the trial, as well as the filmmakers from behind bars. 

The documentary’s most significant moments and discoveries are covered in depth here.

*Listening to the real 911 call — For those who are now fixated on the case, seeing the real source material from the investigation and trial, such as the first 911 call, pictures from the crime scene, tapes from the interrogation, and video and courtroom footage, is crucial. It also demonstrates the astounding amount of research that went into the film “Monsters.”

*In their own words — Although the performances in “Monsters” are striking, nothing compares to hearing Lyle  and Erik discuss the killings in their own mouths. Hartmann has a ton of video featuring each of the Menendez Brothers separately, chronicling the crime and its aftermath. 

*Beverly Hills Police Department — Examining the first prejudice of the Beverly Hills police department that responded to the 911 call is fascinating. “They found the two brothers in front of the house,” stated Pamela Bozanich, the prosecutor in the initial trial. They were being too dramatic and hysterical. However, the police treated them quite well. “The investigators did not initially treat them as suspects,” the statement said, “but Beverly Hills is a different kind of police department.” For their residents, they provide far superior customer service.

*Erik concurred: “Police involvement was warranted. We may have been taken into custody. There was no alibi for us. Our hands were covered with gunpowder residue. Normally, they provide a gunpowder residue test to you. 

* Leslie Abramson, a defense attorney, was the subject of sexist media treatment. In news excerpts featured in the documentary, she was referred to as a “4’11” Little Orphan Annie lookalike and a “tiny, brash, brainy woman with the in-your-face style.” She also weighed 104 pounds of pure dynamite.

*A frightening statement made by Lyle when he was asked to testify in court about the abuse he had experienced as a child: “I would much rather lose the murder trial than talk about our past, and what had happened.”
