Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (season 2)

The tragedy occurred in August 1989 at the Menendez family mansion in Beverly Hills. The brothers shot their parents with shotguns, then called 911 emergency services to report the murder. The brothers told police that at the time of the attack, they were at the movie theater watching the movie Batman by Tim Burton. In the months following the murder, the brothers were actively spending their parents' money. Eventually Eric Menendez confessed to his psychologist about killing his parents, leading to the brothers' arrest in 1990. At trial, the Menendez brothers tried to prove that they had been physically, emotionally and sexually abused by their parents. They committed the murder in self-defense. However, in 1996, the brothers were still sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. According to the official synopsis, the series exposes these crimes, committed against low-income victims, and how systemic racism and institutional failures of the police have influenced all this, allowing one of America's most notorious serial killers to operate for a decade.
