José Menéndez
José Menéndez was a Cuban-American businessman and the father of Erik and Lyle Menéndez.

The trial revealed allegations of abuse and family dysfunction, leading to a complex narrative that pitted the portrayal of the Menéndez brothers as victims against the prosecution's argument of premeditated murder for financial gain.
