  • Erik Menendez Hospitalized Ahead of Parole: Will the Brothers Get a New Trial?
    Jul 31 2025

    Erik Menendez is hospitalized with a serious medical condition just weeks before a pivotal parole hearing. A judge says withheld abuse evidence may have changed the verdict — could a new trial be coming?

    #STSNation,

    Welcome to Surviving the Survivor — the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime.

    Erik Menendez is hospitalized with a serious medical condition—undergoing multiple surgeries for large kidney stones—just weeks before he and his brother Lyle face a crucial parole hearing on August 21–22, 2025.

    Their attorney is pushing for a medical furlough, while a California judge has ordered prosecutors to explain why key sexual abuse evidence—like Erik’s 1988 letter to cousin Andy Cano and a 2023 affidavit from Menudo’s Roy Rosselló—was excluded from their original trial. That decision could trigger a full retrial. The brothers were resentenced in May to 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole after 35 years behind bars.

    #BestGuests:

    • Robert Rand – The original investigative reporter on the Menendez case and author of The Menendez Murders, the definitive book on the brothers and the killings.

    • Dr. Ildiko Tabori – A Los Angeles-based psychologist analyzing the brothers’ trauma, behavior, and potential rehabilitation.

The explosive accusations point to a disturbing pattern of misconduct and cover-ups that some say have plagued Letcher County for generations.

    Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. In this STS episode, Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman digs deeper into what's really going on in Letcher County--and if this alleged abuse--paints a clearer picture about why a sheriff would shoot a judge midday in his chambers.

    In a shocking incident out of Kentucky, the Letcher County Sheriff allegedly shot and killed the Letcher County Judge inside his own chambers—sending shockwaves through the tight-knit Appalachian community. This deadly confrontation has raised urgent questions about corruption, abuse of power, and long-standing political tensions within Letcher County.

    Jul 29 2025

    Donna Adelson’s upcoming trial is heating up as a new document dump reveals more people on the witness lists and pre-trial motions. With the courtroom countdown ticking, these newly filed records offer a deeper look into the state’s strategy—and the defense’s potential surprises.

    Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. In this episode, STS Host Joel Waldman is joined by STS #BestGuests as they dive into the latest documents to find out what this could mean for Donna--and her trial.

I listen to your podcast daily and appreciate it. It is so great to hear a podcast without all the background drama music drowning out the content. Karm is wonderful and I am an LCSW also and so I am always interested in her views. I especially like Carl.
