After shooting their parents to death, Lyle and Erik Menendez partied, gambled, and indulged in pricey shopping sprees. A look back at the unthinkable Beverly Hills murder that's gripped the nation for three decades.

The sweaters, oh how foolish they were. Imagine, if you will, the Menendez brothers. Picture them in matching sweaters, vibrant and unnatural like jelly beans. These two handsome young men chose to wear these sweaters to court, as if they were attending a casual gathering at the country club, perhaps feeling a bit chilly after a tennis match. Maybe they hoped to appear younger, more innocent, or less capable of committing such a heinous crime as murdering their own parents. However, their fashion choices only served to solidify their own caricature: privileged, spoiled boys who believed they could escape any consequences.

The tale of Eric and Lyle Menendez is one of the most infamous true-crime stories in American history, and the public's fascination with it seems insatiable. In 2017 alone, there have been three significant portrayals of their saga on television. These include a two-hour documentary on ABC, a Lifetime movie, and an eight-hour NBC mini-series featuring Emmy winner Edie Falco as the brothers' lawyer, Leslie Abramson.
