Noel King: 本期节目讨论了梅内德兹兄弟案，该案因Netflix上的新纪录片和电视剧而再次受到关注。新的证据和对虐待幸存者态度的转变，促使洛杉矶地区检察官考虑撤销他们的定罪。节目中还讨论了真实犯罪题材的兴起及其对刑事司法体系的影响。
Aja Romano: 梅内德兹兄弟于1989年杀害了他们的父母。最初的审判中，检方认为他们的动机是贪婪，而辩方则认为是长期遭受父亲性虐待的结果。第一次审判因陪审团无法达成一致而告终。在第二次审判中，法官禁止辩方提出性虐待的辩护，最终兄弟二人被判有罪。最近，一封埃里克·梅内德兹写给表哥的信被重新发现，信中他承认自己仍在遭受父亲的性虐待，这成为了新的证据。此外，还有指控称何塞·梅内德兹性侵犯了一名未成年男子组合Menudo的前成员。这些新的证据和社会对虐待幸存者态度的转变，可能导致梅内德兹兄弟的定罪被撤销或重新判刑。节目还讨论了真实犯罪题材的兴起及其对刑事司法体系的影响，包括对错误定罪的关注增加以及对虐待幸存者的更多同情。
