In a recent show of — mostly — solidarity with their kin, relatives of the Menendez brothers held a press conference to express their belief that the men were victims and the monsters they've been portrayed as in media and by prosecutors.
The event was the largest gathering of the Menendez family since Eric and Lyle Menendez were sentenced for killing their parents in 1989. The brothers claimed their parents had been molesting them and that the murders were self-defense. Prosecutors disagreed, arguing that the boys killed their parents for an inheritance.
