Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez , in 1989 .

Psychologist L. Jerome Oziel was source of the case’s smoking-gun evidence: tapes of the brothers’ therapy sessions.

Oziel 's testimony became such a circus sideshow that neither was invited back to testify during the brothers' second trial.

Judalon Smyth was Dr. Oziel 's mistress during the Menendez trial.

She was a star for the defense in the trial of Dr. Erik and Lyle Menendez .

In 2015 , Smyth gave her first and only interview about her trial to the Rezelzel Channel .

Smyth admitted that she didn’t immediately go to authorities when she discovered the confession tape.

Oziel explained why he’s never publicly reflected on his involvement in the Menendez trial: “This case was over 30 years ago . My life is very satisfying and it has no connection to this trial.”.
