A Different Perspective: The Menendez Brothers' Story

You might have watched Ryan Murphy's series "The Menendez Murders. " If you did, you probably noticed that it didn't show the full picture. The brothers, Erik and Lyle Menendez, claimed they were abused by their parents. Even though there's evidence supporting their claims, the show ignored some important details. Instead of giving us a clear view of what happened, it used old stereotypes to tell the story. The series didn't include the brothers' own perspective, which is really important considering the tough things they went through. Murphy even made comments that showed he wasn't taking their experiences seriously. He focused more on the parents' side of the story, which isn't fair to the brothers. This kind of approach can make people forget about the victims of abuse. Imagine if someone close to you had gone through something similar. Wouldn't you want them to be treated with respect and care? That's why it's crucial for stories like these to be told correctly, so we understand what really happened and learn from it.
