Lyle and Erik Menendez spoke about their challenging lives in prison on a podcast, detailing experiences of violence and bullying. Erik described an environment filled with fear and trauma, recounting personal incidents of bullying. He expressed concern over being separated from Lyle, especially when he learned about Lyle's violent attack, which left him with a broken jaw. The brothers are currently awaiting a critical court hearing that could lead to potential resentencing in their case concerning their parents' murders. Meanwhile, the District Attorney is reviewing the details surrounding their fight for freedom.
