Those awful lies have been disrupted and exposed by countless brave victims over the last two decades who have broken through their personal shame and bravely spoken out. So now Murphy shapes his horrible narrative through vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Menendez case was huge news back in the early &#8217;90s. The brothers said they killed their parents after years of sexual abuse by their dad, which they claimed their mom knew about.
