IT MAY seem callous to refer to a murder trial as entertainment, but the fact is that the case of the Menendez brothers, on trial for the shotgun slaying of their wealthy Beverly Hills parents in August of 1989, has become the media event of the year.
Menendez was filling out the application for her younger son, Erik, to attend UCLA.
Whether the Menendez brothers go to prison (it seems unlikely that they will receive the death penalty) or whether they return to their Beverly Hills mansion and their tennis courts, they must live forever with the fact of their evil deed.

 Menendez brothers convicted of first-degree murders
Jose Menendez, a Cuban immigrant, was a self-made millionaire, the chief executive of Live Entertainment Inc. The defense portrayed him as a demonic pervert whose drive for success was twisted into torture of his sons, who could never achieve enough to satisfy him.
Lyle's lawyer, Charles Gessler, argued that his client was raised by depraved parents, enduring a childhood of abuse and manipulation that instilled fear in him.
Lyle was represented by the public defender's office, while Abramson was to receive $125,000 -- about half of what she requested -- in taxpayer money for representing Erik.

SACRAMENTO, California (CNN) -- Erik Menendez, who is serving a life sentence along with his brother Lyle for the 1989 slayings of their parents, was married in prison over the weekend, officials said Tuesday.

 Judge Refuses To Overturn Convictions Of Menendez Brothers - News Story - KNBC | Los Angeles
Lyle and Erik were 21 and 18, respectively, when they reported finding the bodies of their parents, self-made millionaire Jose Menendez and the Cuban emigre's former beauty queen wife Kitty, in the family's 9,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style residence on Aug. 20, 1989.
In seeking to void their convictions, the Menendez brothers made a number of claims that their trial was unfair, including an argument that they should have been allowed to present more evidence to support their allegations that they were afraid of their parents.
Because Lyle did not testify at the retrial -- which took place after the two separate juries that heard their case initially could not reach a verdict -- such testimony related to him was barred.

 Opposition to Lyle Menendez' Motion to Prohibit Erik Menendez from Introducing Evidence of Out-Of-Court Statements ...
Simply put, Erik Menendez has a right to present to the jury an accurate account of Craig Cignarelli's recitation of Erik's alleged statements in a manner that does not distort Erik's role in the events at issue by omitting any reference to the actions of his brother Lyle before the Menendez parents were shot.
The prosecution may not be allowed to improperly and unfairly inflate Erik Menendez' role in these events, and increase Erik's level of culpability in the deaths of his parents, by the device of seeking to try both brothers before the same jury.
Defendant Lyle Menendez' motion to limit cross-examination should also be denied because this Court is not required to rule on matters of cross-examination at this point in time, before the trial has commenced and before there has been any evidence presented by any party.
