The trials of Lyle and Erik Menendez and their conviction for killing their parents came at a time when televised trials captured national audiences in the 1990s .

Their two trials bookended the O.J. Simpson trial, creating a mid-1990s phenomenon where courts subsumed soap operas as riveting daytime television.

They represented a pre-tech-boom image of young wealthy men as portrayed in many a 1980s movie.

A new true-crime wave would continue to promote the Menendez brothers, even if the portrayal wasn't always flattering.

" Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story ," a drama created by Ryan Murphy on Netflix , made them beautiful and vain buffoons.

Almost simultaneously came a real-life turning point, when then- Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón said he was reviewing new evidence.
