Just days after slamming Ryan Murphy’s true-crime drama series – “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” – as “inaccurate,” the currently incarcerated Menendez boys will participate in a new Netflix documentary series about their crimes. According to reports, “The Menendez Brothers” will debut on the streamer on October 7. According to Netflix, both brothers will revisit the trial in their own words. “Through extensive audio interviews with Lyle and Erik, lawyers involved in the trial, journalists who covered it, jurors, family, and other informed observers, acclaimed Argentinian director Alejandro Hartmann offers new insight and a fresh perspective on a case that people only think they know,” Netflix said. Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted in 1996 of the shotgun murders of their parents and are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole.
