"Seeing the card 'shocked me...amazing somebody spotted it...my brother & I together, free, one of the last times." Another said.
"Justice for the Menendez' bros." Another user said.

Other reactions read,

"So sad, they don't deserve any punishment for killing their r*pist father." A user wrote.
"Any parent killing is because those parents did something wrong in the upbringing of those kids." Said another user.
"The prosecution argued they did it to inherit their father's multimillion-dollar estate." Another user commented.
"That is the best bit of trivia ever!" A user commented.
"What’s the card worth?" Another one asked.

Netflix just dropped a new trailer for its upcoming series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which is to premiere on September 19. The trailer offers a glimpse into the lives of the Menendez brothers, who became infamous in the 1990s after being convicted of murdering their parents. Directed by Ryan Murphy, the series marks the second installment of his true crime anthology named Monsters.

The trailer begins with a deceptive calm showing the Menendez family posing for a seemingly idyllic photo shoot. Tension quickly rises as Kitty Menendez, portrayed by Chloe Sevigny, whispers to her husband Jose, played by Javier Bardem, probing about the secret turmoil involving their sons. The response from Jose was, "It is over. Stop. I’m going to fix this family."

As the scene shifts, viewers see the Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, respectively.


The series about the Menendez Brothers will be on Netflix on September 19. 2024.
