The story
Netflix's unscripted Menendez property, the documentary feature The Menendez Brothers, comes on the heels of Monsters – as well as on the heels of strong pushback against Monsters by various critics, and the Menendezes themselves; and Kim Kardashian's visit to the brothers in prison; aaand on the heels of an announcement late last week that the L.A. County DA is re-reviewing the case evidence in response to a request for resentencing.
