This episode is going to continue the story of Erik and Lyle’s trial, and the more that it goes along, the more we are going to have a chance to see things get intense. This is a story that is about a real-life murder case, and anyone who went through that is very well aware at the moment of just how that played out in the headlines. This case became a circus, and the show is going to do everything that they can in order to reflect that.

Not only that, but over the course of this coming episode you’re going to see some of the challenges that the defense faces. They have to take on a number of different hurdles, while at the same time battling the Menendez family themselves.

If you want to get some more news when it comes to what lies ahead, be sure to check out the official synopsis below.

Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders episode 3 synopsis – “With Lyle (Miles Gaston Villanueva) and Erik (Gus Halper) in custody for suspicion of murder, defense attorney Leslie Abramson (Edie Falco) works tirelessly alongside Jill Lansing (Julianne Nicholson) to understand the motive that could drive two young men to commit such a heinous crime. Meanwhile, the prosecution puts Judalon Smyth (Heather Graham) on the stand to make a case for releasing Dr. Oziel’s (Josh Charles) audio notes and tapes from his sessions with Lyle and Erik, despite standard doctor-patient privilege. The ensuing media circus – fueled by leaks from the District Attorney’s office – creates further complications for the defense and places the extended Menendez family at odds with one another.”

Basically, fame is a dangerous thing. It can change people, and that could happen for the family. Not only that, but fame could also be incredibly traumatic. It could lead to a wide array of unforeseen consequences. You also have to remember that the same goes for the counsel, as well. It’s not as though every single case that they tackle is anything like this in the slightest.
