LOS ANGELES — Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of killing their parents in 1989, are speaking from behind bars as the Los Angeles district attorney says he will review new evidence.

“I remember when the verdict came down, it was first degree,” Lyle recalled. “It was so scary I was in shock.”

For the first time in thirty years, the Menendez brothers are speaking out in renewed interest in the infamous murder case that captured the world’s attention.

“I went to the only person who had ever helped me, who had ever protected me, and finally this happened,” Erik said. “He was arrested because of me. I wanted to die. In a way, I didn’t protect Lyle.”

The audio tapes are part of ‘The Menendez Brothers’, a new Netflix documentary.

The siblings shot and killed their parents in their Beverly Hills home in 1989. They shared what they said on the witness stand in the historic television trial and Erik’s reaction to his brother’s testimony.

‘I remember him apologizing on the witness stand for bothering me. He never said he was sorry,” Erik said.

The trial makes headlines again thirty years later as Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón’s office evaluates new alleged evidence and public calls for reconviction.

“We’re not saying there was anything wrong with the original process. We have received proof,” Gascón said.

Famed attorney Mark Geragos claims Erik sent his cousin a letter describing the abuse nine months before the murders.

Geragos also says Roy Rossello, a member of the popular ’80s boy band Menudo, says he too was abused in the family home by Menendez’s father.

It adds to a growing call to reevaluate the alleged abuse the boys suffered at the hands of their own father.

They claim it took years and left them fearing for their own lives.

“It was a culture of silence and that culture of silence existed until the 1990s, and I think it was finally broken in the 2000s,” Erik said.

Prosecutors insist the brutal killings were motivated by money. The next hearing is on November 26 and the prosecutor says the final decision will be up to him.
