Menendez Brothers Reflect on Prison Trauma and Hope for Resentencing

Erik and Lyle Menendez discuss their early struggles in prison, personal growth, and their upcoming resentencing hearing.

Erik and Lyle Menendez revealed the violent bullying and assaults they endured during their early years in separate prisons, including Lyle suffering a broken jaw.
The brothers credit therapy, family support, and personal relationships for helping them cope with trauma and develop empathy over decades in prison.
They praised Netflix's 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' for raising awareness of their claims of childhood abuse, despite initial criticism of inaccuracies in the series.
The Menendez brothers, now held together at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, are scheduled for a resentencing hearing in March 2025, which could lead to parole eligibility.
Both brothers expressed plans to advocate for survivors of childhood trauma and work on rehabilitation initiatives if released.
