Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders Should Change Your Attitude About the Menendez Trials, Says Dick Wolf

 

I will be watching since I am a big crime show watcher. I also watched The Murder of Laci Peterson on A&E told from the Peterson family who truly believe Scott is innocent. It was surprising to learn how many things weren't allowed at trial, but at the end of the series not once did I think he was innocent.
Now with the Menendez brothers there's no doubt they did it, but will they convince me they had no other choice? There's always a choice that doesn't include murder.

Law
& Order is taking "ripped from the
headlines" in a whole different direction with Law
& Order True Crime: The Menendez
Murders. Creator
Dick
Wolf was on hand for NBC's portion of the 2017
TCA summer press tour alongside writer Rene
Balcer, executive producer and director Lesli
Linka Glatter, and stars Edie Falco, Miles
Gaston Villaneuva, and Gus
Halper to talk about the new series, and Wolf
wasted no time in making sure we knew this series was not
designed just to tell us what happened in the infamous
murder case. "This
is taken from the headlines—and we've done some great
shows taken from headlines, but this is on a different
level," Wolf said. 
"It's
also the only time we've had sort of a collective
agenda." Wolf
promises that the research that was done for the new series
revealed "things none of us knew," and said
"Your mind is going to receive a lot of information
that I think will change a lot of people's
attitudes." 
Based
on the research done for the series, Wolf believes that Lyle and Erik Menendez
should not have been convicted of first degree murder for
killing their parents in 1989, and instead should have been
convicted of manslaughter, which would have given them a
lesser sentence. This
Law
& Order series follows Falco as defense attorney
Leslie Abramson, who defended the two brothers (played by
Halper and Villanueva) through two trials and their
conviction, determined to prove that the brothers were
driven to kill their parents after being abused their entire
lives. Writer Rene Halcer said that the abuse and
psychological state of the brothers will play a huge part in
the series, especially given the fact that our understanding
of the psychology of abuse victims has changed a lot, but we
still don't understand it fully. "Both boys were molested by their father,
both boys were molested by their mother, according to their
testimony…This was a very dysfunctional family," he
explained. "The other part of the story that's
probably not well known is the degree of implicit political
collusion between the judge and the district attorney's
office in a second trial to ensure a conviction. So
that's one new facet to the case that the series sort of
highlights." Falco
said that she was attracted to the role of Abramson because
of her passion for both her job and this particular
case."Her
job came first," Falco said. "Justice was really
what this was about for her, and I'm always moved by
that." She
was also attracted to the idea that this show had a lot of
new information to reveal. "I'm
pulled by material," she explained. "Every page I
turned I was like, oh that was a misconception, that's
not what I thought it would be, so that was very compelling
to me." Law
