Laura and Hazel discuss Ryan Murphy’s Monsters scripted show on Netflix including the portrayal of Leslie Abramson and whether a female juror from the first trial told Leslie that the men voted for murder because they didn’t like her. Laura and Hazel also focus on what it meant to be a Menendez and why Erik and Lyle could not just leave, applying the lens of coercive control.
Whilst debating the potential resentencing of both Lyle and Erik, Laura outlines Sally Challen’s case in the UK where the 2015 coercive control law played a role in changing her murder conviction to manslaughter, leading to her release from prison. Could the same happen for Lyle and Erik?
