As a retired defense attorney with decades of experience under my belt, I have seen my fair share of sensationalized dramas and documentaries that try to dissect the complexities of high-profile cases like the Menendez brothers’. However, I must admit, even after representing Erik Menendez myself in the 90s, I have chosen not to watch any of these depictions. I am a firm believer that one should let the past rest where it belongs and focus on the present and future.
Erik Menendez’s long-standing lawyer is expressing his views as Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series gains traction.
Despite being portrayed as a strong defender for the brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were tried for the 1989 murder of their parents by Leslie Abramson in the 1990s, the retired defense attorney herself expressed no interest in watching the series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
She stated, in a video released by Entertainment Tonight on October 9th, “Regarding that rumor I’ve heard? Absolutely not.” She added, “I don’t follow any of those stories.
“I will make no comments about my client,” she added. “None whatsoever.”
In the anthology series, the 81-year-old character, played by Ari Graynor, chose not to watch the earlier dramatization of the case, “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders” from 2017. In that production, her role was taken on by Edie Falco, who later earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.
Nonetheless, Leslie provided a written commentary concerning the two brothers who are currently serving life imprisonment with no possibility of parole, in the recently released documentary titled “The Menendez Brothers,” which is additionally accessible on Netflix streaming.
She stated in her email, ‘Thirty years is a considerable stretch,’ implying that she wants to move forward from previous events. She explained that no news coverage or youth-led protests can change the course of action for their clients; only the court has the authority to do so, and they have already made their decision.
The unveiling of the movie “Monsters” rekindled public curiosity about the brothers’ case, with social media advocates pushing for a reversal of their convictions. More recently, they’ve been focusing on the possibility of fresh evidence surfacing that may corroborate the brothers’ claims of physical and sexual abuse by their father, Jose Menendez.
As a devoted admirer expressing my thoughts, I penned down in an essay for NBC News, sharing my belief that the Menendez brothers merit a fresh trial, following my encounter with them at their San Diego prison in September.
In a recent article, the Kardashian star expressed that she has interacted with Lyle and Erik. Contrary to some beliefs, they aren’t monsters, but rather kind, intelligent, and truthful individuals.
She stated that it seems unfair to keep someone locked up for their entire life as a result of this intricate case. If this crime had occurred and gone through trial in current times, she thinks the results would have been significantly altered.
Cooper Koch, the actor who portrayed Erik in Monsters and joined Kim during her visit, additionally voiced his backing for the brothers.
He shared with Variety last month that they perpetrated the crime when they were 18 and 21 years old. At that time, many found it difficult to accept the possibility of male-on-male sexual abuse, particularly between a father and son.
He added, “I truly wish for them to be granted parole and live the rest of their life wonderfully.
TopMob News has attempted to get a response from the legal representatives of Erik and Lyle Menendez, however, no comment has been received as of yet.
