The Menendez Brothers

On August 20, 1989, José and Kitty Menendez were gunned down in their Beverly Hills mansion, a brutal crime that shocked the nation. But when their two sons, Lyle and Erik, were arrested months later, the story took a dark and complicated turn. Were they cold-blooded killers fueled by greed… or traumatized sons driven to the edge by years of hidden abuse? In this video, we dive deep into the timeline of the Menendez murders, the crime scene, the shocking 911 call, and the courtroom battles that divided America. As I draw a piece inspired by this haunting case, we’ll explore the twisted psychology, conflicting narratives, and the new evidence that continues to surface over 30 years later.
