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.

Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.&nbsp;</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.
