The Menendez Murders: Erik Tells All

Wow, this documentary was really well done, and really revealing about how sick, sick their father was. Just Wow!

This is one of the worse documentaries I have ever seen. Not because the production quality is poor, it's OK, but because it is so un objective and downright misleading . I shouldn't even call it a doc since "Erik tells all" tells u that u will hear what he wants you to. However, there is such a hysterical tone thru the whole thing that is shameless, really made for American audiences , and not the smart ones . For example , a "cousin", presented as Kitty's nephew, drops a hint that he has the inside story since he lived with them (allegedly).... but when he drops the bombshell it is :" The boys would go into the master bedroom and bath suite after tennis to change and shower and the father would close the door "... so, a family where the boys and father see each other change and shower are, what?, perverse and going to get their heads shot off? Granted, the mansion likely had multiple bedrooms and ensuite but, are we really that suspicious today?

It seems like they drug up a couple of jealous enimies of Jose, or some people who just wanted to be on television, and melded them into one of the boys crazy story about why killing their father was , ?in self defense? And Kitty was caught in the cross fire ? Puhleeeezeee.... It seems like there are a whole gang of people charged with murder who all of a sudden , for the first time, claim they were sexually molested as kids by their Dad, which they never told anyone about before AND which said Dad had no history of ... SURE ! These guys were guilty and this thing is insulting .

No one knows what happened in the family. None of us were there, so of they try to make themselves look innocent. Also I thought that if you were convicted of a crime, you couldn't get monetary gain. All it boils down to, is two spoiled rich kids, who thought that they were entitled. Look how they went on their spending spree, after the murders. Anyone who b they are innocent, has a screw loose. And whoever they married has a problem also. Guess they think they'll get the money. Idiots and morons.

....It was those two.

If we believe what Eric is telling us.

I remember the trial and now, after having seen this series, feel quite differently about what I think I saw.

This is really compelling, substantiated stuff. Many first hand recollections and interviews.

Should they have been convicted? Yes, I do think so. But, what made them do it? The devil is, indeed, in the details and his name was Jose Menendez.

Very enlightening, tough stuff. A must see.
