Fox Quotes AIM President on Social Media’s Role in Menendez Brothers Case

August 25, 2025

Nearly three decades after their 1996 conviction for the parents’ murders, the Menendez brothers built momentum trying to carve a new path toward possible freedom, this time, with the help of Hollywood.

From Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” which received an eyebrow-raising 11 Emmy nominations, to viral podcasts, the media spotlight has reignited public debate over their case and set the stage for resentencing and parole bids.

Critics argue the newfound attention is less about justice and more about entertainment.

“The resentencing of the Menendez brothers speaks directly to the power and influence that social media and new media have on our society,” Adam Guillette, the president of Accuracy in Media, told Fox News Digital.
