The Menéndez Brothers who were convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murders of their parents José and Mary Menéndez, appearing on a Mark Jackson NBA trading card. The buzz surrounding the card caused thousands to be purchased and sold online since the story broke. Their murders were so gruesome and barbaric that José and Mary were rendered unidentifiable by 15 rounds from two 12-gauge shotguns. So brutal that the police believed the killings were a mob hit. The night of the crime, the brothers told police they’d gone out that night to see a movie but had to make a pitstop to retrieve Erik’s ID. That’s when they discovered their parents’ decimated bodies and dialed 911, they said in their interviews. The officers who responded to the 911 call found Erik sobbing on the lawn before entering the crime scene. During the period between the crime and their arrests, the brothers went on to spend an estimated amount of $700,000 of their fathers fortune who was worth $14 million at the time of his death. Buying a Rolex, cars, a restaurant, clothes, a $50,000 personal tennis coach, and more. In 1988, after getting caught in a string of burglaries, Erik was required by the court to go see a therapist by the name of Dr. Jerome Oziel. Therapy sessions continued and Oziel ultimately got both brothers confessing to the murders on tape. Oziel confided in his mistress who he had a complicated relationship with. She claimed he was controlling and abusive, after allegedly attacking her she contacted the police to reveal the Menéndez Brothers confessed to their parents’ murder. The trial began in 1993, broadcasted on Court TV, the brothers claimed that the reason behind their crime was their father being emotionally abusive and molesting them since childhood. The death of their mother was to “put her out of her misery.”
