[ cheers and applause ] we're back, now, 7:41, with one of the country's most notorious murder cases. the menendez murders of their parents. >> now, lyle is speaking out. this is very rare. he is speaking to meghyn kelly. >> nbc "law & order" is bringing this to gh

the series, the murder and regrets. it was a case that captured the country two decades ago. lyle and erik menendez were convicted of murdering their parents inside their beverly hills home in 1989. their story is being re-examined in a new "law and order" series, chronickrochronicling the case. lyle menendez wants people to watch and make up their own minds. let's talk about the dick wolf show. were you consulted on the project? >> i was not consulted on the project. dick wolf, to his credit, they got the trial transcript and put a team together to figure out what they felt exactly happened in this trial to be as accurate as possible in the series. >> two counts of murder -- >> -- have been filed against lyle and erik menendez.

investigation, prosecutors explored if they were killed by the mafia. but seven months into the investigation, lyle and erik were arrested. prosecutors argued they killed their parents to get the family fortune. the brother's defense team said the murders were motivated by a lifetime of abuse. i think it's fascinating to look at when these two otherwise normal kids decided to -- decided to not just murder, but murder their own parents. you know? like, whose idea was it? tell us about the conversation where that was first was discussed. >> i don't know the details of what happened between my brother and my father. when i first heard about it, i had some of the same reaction, that some people have, you know, how could you not have resisted? why didn't you tell me? why didn't you run away? why didn't you fight back against your father? and i kind of thought

what happens to -- as monstrous as my father was, it happened to little boys. i didn it didn't after to me after i was a teenager. this was sort of a realization of me, how he began to tell me the detail officials what happened to him. >> reporter: the first trial in 1993, was a spectacle that was broadcast live on court tv. there were two juries, one for each brother. and in the end, both deadlocked. the second trial, starting in 1995, featured no cameras and just one jury. this time around, the brothers' abuse defense was not allowed. lyle maintains the case was never about innocence or guilt, but a complex family history. >> i was dealing with just a horrifying situation. my father was a powerful man in his 40s. a threatening man. and my mother was not a submissive, battered wife. she was an

person. and we, you know -- i was fearful. and beyond, really, all words. and i don't know. i can't really explain why i didn't just pick up and leave, other than i wouldn't leave my brother. >> reporter: lyle menendez, 49, is incarcerated in sacramento. his brother, erik, 45 miles away in a san diego prison. both were sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. lyle menendez says he regrets killing his parents every day. do you regret the murders? >> i completely regret -- i don't think that, you know, i want, in any way, looking back, to be the judge and jury of my father's actions or my mother's. it's really -- i regret every day. i regret every day. but at the same time, you really -- i can't escape what happened anymore than i can ca

happened to me. >> the prosecution's theory was that that abuse claim was completely invented. lyle was asked if the trial were held today, would he still be convicted? and he said no. in the years since his conviction, topics like sexual abuse and domestic violence have become less taboo. >> it's a case that fascinates all these years later. >> did it happen or didn't it? is the abuse made up? the jury didn't buy it, the one that convicted him. or is it real? his point is it is real and if the case were tried to today, juries would see the possibility of these abuses much more real than when he was tie ried. >> the third is that the abuse was real but the actions weren't justified. >> they get to watch tv. he watches a lot of news. he watches, i think nbc primetime programming. he watches primetime prograg.

brother, erik. they can't speak by phone. but they write letters. >> they haven't seen each other since the trial. >> the most fascinating moment for me was, what was it like? did you look your parents in the eyes before you shot them? and what did you feel before you shot them? and we get into all of it. >> that's a tease. a lot more of the interview this morning on "megyn kelly today." just ahead after this show. the teen that was kidnapped by her teacher and was on the run with him for a month, breaks her silence. and sheinelle jones in
