THE MENENDEZ MURDERS: WHO IS TO BLAME?
<p>Who’s to blame for the Menendez Murders?</p><p>This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez by their sons Erik and Lyle Menendez. A trial that dominated the media and fascinated the public eye in the mid 1990's, questions about the case linger on to this day.

Or was a history of sexual abuse and a 90’s culture of denial around male sexual abuse the ultimate cause? Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation. </p><p>Join our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheAlarmist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon!</a></p><p>Tell us who you think is to blame at<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheAlarmistPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> http://thealarmistpodcast.com</a></p><p>Email us at thealarmistpodcast@gmail.com</p><p>Follow us on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thealarmistpodcast/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @thealarmistpodcast</a></p><p>Follow us on TikTok<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thealarmistpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @thealarmistpodcast</a></p><br><p>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist">http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
