Even though the murders were initially and inaccurately blamed on a mafia hit, it turned out the all-American Menendez family was far from perfect.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1789 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/menendez-brothers-1-300x172.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/menendez-brothers-1-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/menendez-brothers-1.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>After suspicious, costly spending following the double homicide and a confession to a psychologist, Lyle and Erik Menendez, the heirs of the wealthy couple, were arrested and charged with the grisly murder of their parents.

The brothers&#8217; best friends and neighbors, the lead detectives, lawyers and jurors on the case, and the family members profile the intimate details of the Menendez family, including Erik&#8217;s secret life. What drove these sons of privilege to give up their Ivy League educations and promising futures to kill their parents in cold blood? Was it greed and fear of being financially cut off from their lavish lifestyle or was the violence an act of revenge &#8211; payback for the years of unspeakable abuse at the hands of their parents?<\/p><div id=\"morty-3770854507\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Truth and Lies: The Menendez Brothers &#8211; American Sons, American Murderers&#8221; airs THURSDAY, JANUARY 5 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EST) on ABC.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/video\/embed?id=44179801\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Truth and Lies: The Menendez Brothers &#8211; American Sons, American Murderers&#8216; Features New Interview with Lyle Menendez from Prison on What He Thinks Now It was the original trial of the century that captivated the nation.
