		Lyle, who was not a good student, told his friends that he wanted to skip college and open a restaurant with his father’s financial backing.
		Lyle was accepted to Princeton in 1987, more on the strength of his ethnicity and ability to play tennis, than on his standardized test scores and high school grades that were just average.

	Spector hires Menendez brothers' lawyer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Abramson, who became famous for her role in the murder trial of brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, said she had been phasing out her defence practice with an eye toward retirement when she was contacted by Spector.
		In 1981, four years into her private practice, she represented one of the killers in the Bob's Big Boy massacre, that year's ``crime of the century.'' Despite her ferocious defense, she lost the case--``all the way to the death penalty.'' But from then on she was on the shortlist for high-profile capital cases.
		Abramson clearly relishes describing her courtroom tactics and behind-the-scenes maneuvers, so it is disappointing that she confines her commentary on the Menendez trial to a summary of the facts of that case, a few choice words for Judge Stanley Weisberg, and a plea to ``pull the plug'' on cameras in the courtroom.

	Prosecution's Motion To Exclude Naked Lyle & Erik Menendez Photos
		Lyle Menendez was unable to identify the photographs now objected to by the prosecution as photographs taken by Jose Menendez because, he conceded, he had never seen these particular photographs before.(5) Nor had he ever seen the photographs which he alleged had been taken of him and his brother.
		The defendant's theory of relevance for this evidence is that it corroborates his claim that his father took photographs of himself and his brother in the nude for a lewd purpose.
		If the photos wee taken by someone other than Jose Menendez- such as by children playing with the camera- they have no relevance whatsoever, and the admission of such highly inflammatory photographs into evidence, based upon the possibility that hey could have been taken by Jose Menendez, is highly prejudicial to the prosecution.

		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.
