  • S3 Ep212: The Menendez Brothers: Monster Behind the Mask (Part 7)

    S3 Ep212: The Menendez Brothers: Monster Behind the Mask (Part 7)
    May 31 2024
    Beverly Hills, located just southwest of the Hollywood Hills, was and still is a place that the rich, famous and glamorous choose to make their homes. Known for its opulence and luxury, the homes in Beverly Hills are some of the most expensive in the United States, with some properties worth tens of millions of dollars. But behind the country clubs, cocktail hours and shopping trips, there was something much darker brewing in a high end Beverly Hills neighborhood. On August 20th, 1989, business executive Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty were brutally murdered while sitting in the living room of their sprawling Mediterranean style mansion, and what seemingly made this tragedy worse was the fact that their two son’s, Lyle and Erik, were the ones to make the gruesome discovery of their bodies. Suddenly orphaned, the Menendez brothers were initially looked at with sympathy, but soon they would be on trial for the murder of their parents. Lyle and Erik didn’t deny that they had taken their parents' lives, but according to them it was because they were scared and broken down after a lifetime of abuse. At the time, most people believed this was a fabricated excuse, and the prosecution gave greed and money as the true motive. A tragedy and trial played out for the world on television, ending with both Erik and Lyle confined at the Richard Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego for life, with no chance of parole. Recently, newly discovered evidence and testimony has raised questions of whether Erik and Lyle were being honest about the constant state of stress and fear their parents forced them to live under.

    S3 Ep211: Crime Weekly News: Kouri Richins Loses Lawyers & Elderly 'Serial Slingshot Shooter' Arrested
    May 29 2024
    Kouri Richins is a Utah mother and wife who, in 2022, allegedly poisoned her husband, Eric Richins, with a fatal dose of fentanyl. She was arrested and charged with his murder in 2023, but not before writing a book for children on how to handle losing a parent. Now, her lawyer has filed to withdraw from her case, and she makes her first public comments since her arrest.

    Also in recent news, an 81-year-old man was arrested for terrorizing a neighborhood with a slingshot for over 10 years.
