It’s true—as depicted in Netflix’s ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,’ the Menendez brothers really did offer Simpson pro tips for navigating jail in 1994.
In 1994, about five months after the Menendez brothers’ first trial ended with hung juries, Simpson was arrested for allegedly killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was locked up at the LA County Men’s Central Jail, where the Menendez brothers were living, and temporarily put in a cell block right next to Erik. The episode’s introduction of Simpson closely follows what Erik has said about his time in prison alongside “The Juice.
I certainly never thought that we’d be later meeting in prison, facing murder charges. That’s for sure.” Lyle also told Rand that he advised Simpson to take a plea bargain: “I told him I thought the public would understand,” Lyle said, according to The Menendez Murders. “I expressed my concern that Robert Shapiro wouldn’t let him tell the truth. I said I knew it obviously wasn’t planned and that he had snapped in the heat of passion.
