Menendez Brothers Seek New Trial Amid Claims of Jury Misconduct

Decades After Infamous Murders, Legal Team Alleges Unfair Bias in Original Proceedings

Los Angeles, CA — May 10, 2025 — Nearly 30 years after being convicted for the brutal murders of their parents, Erik and Lyle Menendez are back in the spotlight as their attorneys push for a new trial, citing newly uncovered evidence of jury misconduct.

The brothers, who were sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for the 1989 killings of José and Kitty Menendez, have long maintained that they acted in self-defense after years of alleged abuse. Their case, which captivated the nation with its themes of wealth, privilege, and family dysfunction, may now face renewed scrutiny.

According to court documents filed this week, defense attorneys claim that a juror from the original trial concealed a personal bias against the brothers, violating their right to a fair trial. The motion alleges that the juror, whose name remains sealed, had prior knowledge of the case and discussed it with friends before deliberations—a potential violation of court rules.

'This new information undermines the integrity of the verdict,' said defense attorney Mark Geragos, who represents Lyle Menendez. 'Had we known about this juror’s misconduct at the time, the outcome could have been very different.'

Prosecutors have yet to respond formally, but legal experts suggest the motion faces an uphill battle. 'Post-conviction claims like this are rarely successful, especially after so many years,' said UCLA law professor Joanna Schwartz. 'But if the evidence is compelling, a judge may at least order a hearing.'

The Menendez brothers’ case remains one of the most infamous in true-crime history, inspiring documentaries, TV specials, and even a recent dramatized series. Supporters of the brothers argue that their claims of abuse were overshadowed by media sensationalism, while others believe justice was rightfully served.

A hearing on the motion is expected later this summer. If granted, a new trial could reopen one of California’s most notorious legal sagas.
