Bad Blood: The Shocking True Story Behind the Menendez Killings

Handsome, rich, bronzed champion athletes, Erik and Lyle Menendez were the stunning symbols of the California dream. The sons of a high-powered Hollywood Executive and his beautiful wife, they lived in a pampered world of Beverly Hills mansions, swimming pools and private tennis courts.

But the dream became a nightmare when police found the butchered bodies of the boys’ parents, Jose and Kitty in the family room of their five-million dollar mansion. Only days after the couple was laid to rest, the brothers began an appalling spending spree, buying Rolex watches, designer clothes and a new Porshe. Seven months later all of Hollywood was stunned when the 18 & 21 year old brothers were arrested for the horrendous killings.

In wrenching testimony, Lyle & Erik accused their father of sexually brutalizing then since they were children, claiming his sadistic acts of perversion and cruel violence drove them to their unspeakable crime.
