Join me for anoth­er episode of Cor­puz’s Cor­ner as I tack­le a ques­tion that’s been lin­ger­ing in my head: How have dif­fer­ent types of media impact­ed old crim­i­nal cas­es being brought back into the spot­light? With a focus on the Menen­dez Broth­ers, there has been recent media released by Net­flix which has received a lot of acclaim and feed­back. So much so that there has been news of a poten­tial resen­tenc­ing in the case involv­ing these two broth­ers.
