The Menendez brothers are making headlines again with the recent release of the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The two were convicted of murdering their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, in 1989 when Lyle was 21 and Erik was 18 at their Beverly Hills home. Shortly after committing the crime, the brothers spent an estimated $700,000 before their arrest in 1990.

During their court trials, they claimed to have been abused by their parents throughout their childhood, accusing their late father of sexual abuse and their mother of drug addiction and alcoholism. The brothers are currently incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in California.

What Were the Menendez Brothers Sentenced To?

Lyle and Erik were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 1996. Although they were originally separated for most of their imprisonment, which led to limited communication, they were reunited in April 2018 at the same facility in California.

In May 2023, the brothers’ attorneys filed a petition to overturn their convictions. According to court documents obtained by The Los Angeles Times, the filing stated, “The new evidence not only shows that Jose Menendez was very much a violent and brutal man who would sexually abuse children, but it strongly suggests that — in fact — he was still abusing Erik Menendez as late as 1988.” 

The document continued to state, “Instead, the crime was manslaughter, not murder. The killings occurred in imperfect self-defense, after a lifetime of physical and sexual abuse from their parents.” Despite the petition, the brothers remain imprisoned.

How Were the Menendez Brothers Caught?

Erik ended up confessing to his psychologist, Dr. Jerome Oziel, during a therapy session. Oziel’s mistress, Judalon Smyth, then reported this information to the police.

Lyle and Erik Menendez Life Update

Although both Lyle and Erik remain behind bars, this hasn’t stopped them from pursuing relationships. Lyle, now 56, has been married twice while in prison. He first married Anna Eriksson in 1996, but they divorced in 2001. Two years later, in 2003, he married Rebecca Sneed, and they remain together.

As for Erik, now 53, he met his wife, Tammi Saccoman, through letters while he was in prison. Their relationship blossomed, and they have been married since 1999.

If you or anyone you know has been sexually abused, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). A trained staff member will provide confidential, judgment-free support as well as local resources to assist in healing, recovering and more.

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
