American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy is once again picking from the horrific crimes of the recent past to create his newest mini-series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
The Menendez family and their grisly story get the Ryan Murphy treatment in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
Now, the streaming giant is unleashing Murphy on another dark chapter in American history, with his anthology series Monster next taking on the true story of brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were sentenced to life without parole in 1996 for murdering their parents.Up until 1989, Erik and Lyle Menendez were normal, albeit privileged, young men. They lived in a Beverly Hills mansion with their parents, Mary Louise and José, an entertainment executive.
It wasn't until March 1990 that the brothers were arrested and it would be another three years before they both went to trial. The high profile of the case saw it broadcast on cable channel CourtTV, and the brothers' tearful testimony turned the murder trial into an international spectacle.A retrial began in late 1995, with both men tried in front of a single jury and without any cameras inside the courtroom. Judge Stanley Weisberg ruled that the defence had not adequately provided proof of the brothers' prolonged abuse at the hands of their father.
Ari Graynor will feature as Leslie Abramson, LA defence attorney and eventual lead counsel for Erik. "Despite the gripping subject matter and the outstanding performances, Monsters… has no idea what it wants to be. Therefore, it just dissolves into a retelling of unspeakable abuses and gruesome crimes,"
