American Criminal is a new true crime podcast from the studio behind American scandal and

American history tellers. Every week you'll fall deeper into the riveting

stories of the country's most clever, craven, and cruel criminals, fraud, theft, murder, and worse.

Whatever the case, whoever the criminal, you don't know the whole story until now.

The debut season tackles one of the most sensational cases of the 20th century,

the Menendez murders. In 1989, young Lyle and Eric Menendez brutally shot their

own parents.

Prosecutors in the press said it was a multi-million dollar inheritance that led two greedy rich kids to murder.

But the picture perfect facade this Hollywood family built hit troubling abuse.

Could these teenagers have been driven to kill or was it even in self-defense?

but for my mom.

People don't understand it.

It's not TV that it's cut and everybody's happy. There is a life after a case and people

have to live the rest of their lives dealing with the murderer, his family,

his friends, his associates.
