A&E Network's true crime documentary re-examines one of the most infamous murder cases in U.S. history through unparalleled personal access to one of the convicted killers. Erik Menendez recounts his tortured past and the brutal murder of his parents that he and older brother Lyle committed in 1989, for which both were sentenced to life in prison. The series includes extensive phone interviews with Erik as well as rare footage, never-before-seen photos, and new interviews with prosecutors, law enforcement, close family, friends and medical experts. Former Los Angeles Assistant District Attorney Christopher Darden, TV host Larry King, Erik's wife Tammi and trial reporter Linda Deutsch are among the interviewees.
