Murphy responded to the statement by saying the Menendez brothers were expressing “faux outrage” and the show was the best thing that has happened to the Menendez brothers in 30 years in prison.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom reveals he avoided Netflix's Menendez series to maintain impartiality as he prepares to make a critical parole decision by Labor Day following resentencing.

Erik Menendez and his brother, Lyle, have spent more than 35 years prison for killings their parents in 1989 in a case that over the past year has gained renewed public attention following the release of Netflix's "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" and various documentaries.

Erik Menendez has reportedly been diagnosed with a ‘serious’ health condition and hospitalised just weeks before a parole hearing he and his brother have long awaited.

Menendez, who is incarcerated at a San Diego prison, was taken to an outside medical facility on July 18, where he remains in fair condition, an official said.
