So, to answer your question: The Menendez brothers were charged with two counts of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and a side of "we’re really, really sorry about the mess." They tried to play the trauma card, but the judge said, "Nope, you played the shotgun card first." In the end, they got life without parole, which is roughly 25 million minutes of bad prison lasagna.
Fun fact to blow your mind: In 2026, their case was revisited thanks to Netflix’s Monsters, and a new generation decided the brothers were "misunderstood." Meanwhile, the real victims—José and Kitty—are still dead, and the brothers are still in jail. The lesson? Never commit a crime while eating ice cream. The prosecution will totally use that against you.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go check if my parents are awake. Just in case.
