"Someone killed my parents," Lyle Menendez yells on the call, before telling the dispatcher he had just arrived home to find his parents dead from gunshot wounds.
Jose Menendez, a 45-year-old business executive, was shot at point-blank range in the back of the head, and 47-year-old Kitty Menendez was shot multiple times in the living room of their home.the brothers falsely said they were away from their home the night of the murders. The couple’s oldest son, Lyle Menendez, was arrested on March 8, 1990 and charged with their murder. Erik Menendez, who was traveling abroad at the time, surrendered to authorities three days later.
Their case became a national sensation when their first murder trials were broadcast on Court TV in 1993. Prosecutors argued the brothers killed their parents for financial gain in inheriting their estate, while the defense argued the brothers feared for their safety after a lifetime of abuse at the hands of their father. Erik and Lyle Menendez's trials ended with hung juries in 1994.
