Menendez Family Steps Up Pressure at Press Conference, Asking Los Angeles D.A. to Free Brothers


The Menendez family held a press conference Wednesday to urge prosecutors to let the brothers walk free after 34 years.

The Menendez family has denounced the series, calling it “a phobic, gross, anachronistic, serial episodic nightmare that is not only riddled with mistruths and outright falsehoods but ignores the most recent exculpatory revelations.” Mark Geragos, the brothers’ attorney, argued that the cultural awareness of sexual abuse of boys has shifted in the last 30 years, and that the Netflix series drew attention through its negative portrayal. The press conference drew a massive swarm of nearly 100 media members to the patio outside the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, plus dozens of onlookers who watched from the nearby sidewalk.
