Should the Menendez Bros Be Freed? |
Joan VanderMolen, the white-haired matriarch of the Menendez family, has been a staunch and outspoken supporter of Erik and Lyle’s since 1990, when they were charged with murdering their parents with shotguns in the den of their Beverly Hills home. Now she hopes that they can be released from prison as the Los Angeles County district attorney, George Gascón, considers new evidence in the case. In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, VanderMolen reveals intimate details of how she and her sister grew up. With revelations about her and her sister Kitty’s father, she also offers the closest reason we may ever have to understanding why Kitty didn’t leave Jose Menendez, even though Erik and Lyle testified to years of sexual and physical abuse. The case, of course, has been the subject of renewed interest because of two Netflix releases: Ryan Murphy’s scripted series and a new documentary, directed by Alejandro Hartmann. |
