Episode 161 - (Belated) Father's Day, My Dude (The Menendez Brothers)

Murder, My Dude

Yeah, Father’s Day was almost a week ago, but in the spirit of, “better late than never,” Murder, My Dude is going to celebrate it the only way we know how: the worst way humanly possible!

When most people think of killing one’s parents, the name that springs into mind immediately is Menendez. Even by their own testimony, Lyle and Erik Menendez shot their parents 15 times with a pair of 12-gauge shotguns on August 20, 1989. They claim it was to escape from a lifetime of abuse, but those who put them in jail for life say it was greed, plain and simple.

In this episode, we explore their story.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores a children’s author accused of murder (and of making dubious internet searches) and a man long believed to be wrongfully convicted of murder is freed.

And finally, we close out with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!
