This courtroom drama sheds light on the Menendez bothers and how California's corrupted justice system was biased against them from day one even though Lyle and Erik's testimonies on being sexually abused by their parents were proven to be true. Edie Falco was incredible as the charismatic defense lawyer Leslie Abramson and gave an outstanding performance throughout the series, and both Gus Halper and Miles Gaston Villaneuva were terrific in their portrayal of the brothers in terms of their psychological suffering which ultimately caused them to shoot their abusive parents in self-defense. It's a shame that the Menendez brothers are still incarcerated despite their appeals, but hopefully they'll be free now that the public is aware of child molestation and all forms of sexual abuse.
