View gallery
The Menendez Brothers documentary premiered on Netflix simply weeks after the streamer’s hit miniseries, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, was launched. Now that Lyle and Erik Menendez‘s case is back in the spotlight, the siblings were given a new court hearing scheduled to take place in late 2024 — but not everyone supports them. After viewers watched the brothers’ new doc, many are asking about the trial’s prosecutor, Pamela Bozanich.
At one level in the documentary, Pamela pointed to the new technology and the motion to launch Lyle and Erik from jail. The brothers claimed that they fatally shot their mother and father, José and Kitty Menendez, in 1989 as a result of they allegedly subjected Lyle and Erik to emotional, bodily and sexual abuse.
“The only reason we’re doing this special is because of the TikTok movement to free the ‘Menendi,’” Pamela stated at one level in the doc. “Your beliefs are not facts. They’re just beliefs. And by the way, all you TikTok people, I’m armed. We got guns all over the house, so don’t mess with me.”

Pamela was the Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County. She was assigned to work as the prosecutor in opposition to Lyle and Erik throughout their 1993 homicide trial. In The Menendez Brothers doc, Pamela recalled the overwhelming publicity that the case obtained.
“The day that we did opening statements, I was coming into the courthouse and people were filming me, and I just thought, ‘What the hell have I gotten myself into?’” she stated earlier than revealing, “I went in the bathroom and threw up. The only time I’ve ever thrown up during a trial or before a trial or anything. Having the media, there was a nightmare. You don’t have to do that in a normal murder trial.”

Actress Ari Graynor, who portrayed Leslie in Monsters, informed Variety in October 2024 that Leslie apparently “took a step back” following the Menendez brothers’ trial “not only because this case in particular was so painful for her, but she also did not mince words about the media and its effects on things.”
