Lyle Menendez has been cheating on his wife with a college student

She also helped sneak him a cell phone that allows him to post from inside prison.

Just like the 90s, Lyle will be the downfall of the brothers.

Will the wife or mistress get her head blown off while watching TV when he gets out

Same thing most so called family men are up to across the country. It has nothing to do with the murder conviction and trial that was entirely politically motivated. If he proves to be a danger to society then that's another issue but cheating on his wife isn't shocking.

R3 this can easily be used against him. The prosecutors can say “see, he still hasn’t changed” as he is not only cheating but got caught with an illicit cell phone TWICE.

I thought he was a prison angel?

Lyle can’t stay out of trouble. Never has been able to. This only confirms it. The prosecutors can easily hold this against him, especially since he had illicit cell phones twice. Poor Erik. Always getting screwed over because of his fucking brother.

I assumed he was still an asshole and I’m not surprised.

I’ve seen a couple of video essays online made by Gen Z and they seem to have the same mentality as Rosie; they were definitely abused so free them now.

They’re also very critical of Ryan Murphy and that’s fair up to a point, but the irony is that if they are resentenced or freed it will be because of the attention the miniseries brought to the case.

[quote] trial that was entirely politically motivated.

Are you high? They slaughtered their fucking parents with shotguns while they watched TV, literally eviscerating them and you think the trial was politically motivated?!

Erik's fate is not tied to Lyle's.

I've worked with incarcerated people for several years. Prison "misconduct" (e.g., possessing contraband, like a cell phone) will disqualify you from parole. A certain amount of time has to pass before the misconduct is not held against you (for parole purposes).

Susan Smith: incarcerated for 30 years and still picking up misconducts.

If Erik has no misconducts and becomes eligible for parole, then he might get paroled - regardless of Lyle's prison record.

R7 everyone knows this but the haters don’t wanna admit it. Like Javier Bardem said, the show brought the case to a global scale. While doing the press junket for international media outlets, the guy from Egypt said the case was unknown there until Monsters and now it’s a #1 show there and the case is popular there. People can shit on Murphy but he’s why this case is now a global phenomenon and not just an American one.

R9 false. The brothers have always been testified as one.

Testified as one?

Tried as one.

It's called hybristophilia, very odd condition. This girl gets a sexual thrill out of a) his crimes and b) out of his captivity - which gives her a lot of power in the relationship.

An extreme case of "I CAN FIX HIM!"

Lord Rothermere, the founder of The Daily Mail, with his best German friend

R15 that’s all young women these days. Gen Z is obsessed with them, especially the females. There are even tons of videos sexualizing both guys. Not the actors. The real men.

Really? Do Gen Z think OJ was innocent?

No.

No, they were tried as individuals or codefendants in a single trial. One or both could have been acquitted.

They had separate defense teams.

Lyle was the instigator but it was Erik that stupidly confessed to his shady therapist.

He confessed to the murder but never mentioned any sexual abuse.

I have no sympathy for either of them.

Why is everyone talking nonsense? The first trial and second trial were different. The second trial had one jury and they were tried as one.

R22, there still could have been two different verdicts. Do you have a criminal justice degree? Have you gone to law school?

The Hallmark of a sociopath is philandering. Lying and trying not to get caught. And he's also lying about the incest.

I thought they were more interested in sucking each other off. Crazed cookie smeller.

R18, no, the TikTok girls don't care about murderers if they're black

Lyle is cheating on his brother, Erik, with a college student!

If they do get out, I wonder how long the wives/girlfriends will stick around. Wouldn’t you always wonder, if they really lost their temper, what might happen?

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

If cheating on you wife was a big thing, half of America would be in prison by now. It's irrelevant to the case considering his relationship is basically a pen pal. The Cell phone is the only thing they will look at, considered contraband but again, totally different than drugs for example.

^ He was using her, just like he uses everybody

Can't believe anyone defends this lying asshole

Not defending him, just saying it's a little hyperbolic to think cheating on a pen pal is going to affect his case.

He was using her to sneak stuff into prison

As to most prison wives R33. That makes her the one breaking the law too. And if she's that stupid to marry a convicted felon in jail and then do stuff like that she has more than one screw lose, more like a whole box. Then again at leas she did fall in love with him as a prison guard, help break him out of jail and go on the lamb like that other dumb bimbo did years back. Women will do ANYTHING for a man.

So what R10. People (dumbasses like you) think what? They're some kind of heroes. That what oh, poor. Poor them? Fuck Ryan Murphy and Javier Bardem. From what I've read Javier Bardem didn't even meet with those two murderers. Their wives are fucking stupid, too. I know someone who writes to prisoners and think she's in love every other week. Some of the men she writes to have done heinous shit, but she'll convince herself that they were framed or some shit. These two murdered their father then reloaded and killed their mother. It takes pure evil to do that. Politically motivated my ass.

Who's saying this is politically motivated? The murders were hate filled revenge. Manly from years of sexual abuse from the age of 6. There were much easier and cleaner ways to kill them if it was just for the money. Didn't it come out in the trial if they had just waited two more weeks, they would have been of age for several million in a trust they would receive? Why would you sabotage that with no get away plan? They assumed they would be arrested on the spot but cops fucked up. Family members are ALWAYS the first suspects.

^ No, they didn't assume they'd be arrested on the spot. The carefully plotted an alibi and expected to get away with

They told Dr. Oziel that they killed because they resented their father's control, not because of sexual abuse. They saw their mom's murder as a "mercy killing" because she had previously tried to kill herself due to Jose's affairs (with grown women, not little boys)

I thought he was cheating with Rosie O

Lyle’s into bears, r38?

[quote]The carefully plotted an alibi and expected to get away with

Carefully plotted? You don't start thinking of an alibi after the fact. That's what you do when you killed someone in a fit of rage and not arrested right away. What they told Dr. Ozeiel was long after the murders. When it sunk he what might really happen to them and what they did. Guys that age would have researched what a Mafia hit really looks if they were planning that long in advance. The Mafia excuse was just the first thing that came to their mind.

They went out of their way to hide the gun purchases with a fake ID and going all the way down to San Diego. By their own admission to Dr. Oziel, they had been planning to kill their parents for awhile before they actually did it. They wanted to kill just their Dad at first and debated whether they should kill their mom, too

R35 sounds fun

[Quote] Carefully plotted? You don't start thinking of an alibi after the fact.

What evidence do you have that they didn’t come up with the first alibi (it was the mafia) until after they murdered their parents? That they would have murdered them “mob fashion?” These two idiots?

R30 = Rosie O'Donnell, able to find the wholesomeness in a cold-blooded murderer.

He's not even a hot older man! He looks like a chemo patient.

Some women are such whores.

Well, mom had to die, too because she probably would have objected to the whole bullshit "Daddy was raping us" lie

So, he wants to dump one brainless idiot to get with another brainless idiot, all after he dumped the first brainless idiot.

R46 And she would have been first in line for the spoils. Those traumatized rape survivors needed that Porsche stat!

How can people just visit prisons and cosy up to the prisoners?

[quote]Well, mom had to die, too because she probably would have objected to the whole bullshit "Daddy was raping us" lie

OR they were tired of her suicide attempts as a wealthy entitled Beverly Hills house wife of the time. Parents who attempt suicide while the kids are still living at home will fk them up big time.

Do you think he'll shoot his wife when he gets out?

I thought he was cheating with a boyfriend in jail.

He has a prison wife, "Chino," apparently. Link in next post because Lord Rothermere (sp?), etc.

[QUOTE]'I saw Lyle and Chino laid up in the same bunk cuddling. I just straight up asked, "Lyle, what's up with you and Chino? I seen y'all hugged up. Are you gay?"' Weems recounted.

'The answer that he gave me was somewhat shocking: "Chino is my man."

Paging Ryan Murphy, when are we getting "Lyle and Chino: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told"?

Honesty, if you're in jail for the rest of your life, you want a companion. Even straight men need someone, another man if that's all that's around.

He's truly repulsive-looking.

^ Leave my man alone!!!

Lyle has the eyes of a puppy strangler. What the hell is the matter with the women into freaks like him? Were they molested as kids?

And you wonder why gay men hold you pathetic cunts in such utter contempt?

r62 I don't get it

R62 On some weird level (that I wouldn't want to explore too deeply) I understand the Manson frau obsession more than the Menendez thing.

I think the women who are hitching their wagons to the Menendez brothers are ultimately in it for the notoriety, and any money they can glean from publicity.

The moralizing from gays about the lack of female sexual discernment is bullshit.

Most gays would drop to their knees for a puppy killer if he was hung or masculine enough.

That’s OUTRAGEOUS r66!!!

How dare you?!?!

The difference is R66 is we don't need or want to marry them.

Its a nonsense distinction R68. Most gays don't want to marry anyone, anyway.

Actually Gramps at R69, not true at all, most gays now want a long term relationship.

The other one is cuter
