I kinda want to do a Menendez Brothers deep dive but I also know it will gut me. There will be no catharsis or certainty, only morbid curiosity.
If anyone wants to talk about this please message me.
I’m thinking of buying the Robert Rand book.
#so far I think the evidence of abuse is overwhelming#but they (mostly Lyle) lie about stupid shit!#if I was a juror I’d still give them time#idk if the motive was so much money as straight up revenge#which is understandable#but that’s murder not manslaughter#I also just find the performance of likability in trials fascinating#nauseating but fascinating#and there’s the 1% part of me that thinks they might be lying#just because there was also so much lying and fake tears before??#but holy crap. the abuse testimonies.#someone lying that well is honestly scarier than shooting someone#I think them finally being in a nicer prison together#is as close to a happy ending for them#the cycles keep on cycling#menendez brothers#Menendez murders#true crime#Robert Rand
