Lyle Menendez and his brother Erik were convicted in 1994 for the 1989 murders of their wealthy parents. After spending 27 years in prison, Lyle revealed that he’s now more at peace, and that one of the connections he deeply values is the one he shares with his wife, Rebecca Sneed.

Recently, in an interview with ABC News for their new documentary, Truth and Lies: The Menendez Brothers, Lyle revealed, “I’ve found I can have a healthy marriage that is complicated and built around conversation and finding creative ways to communicate, sharing, without all the props that are normally there in marriage in terms of going out to dinner and having as much intimate time together and so on.” It sounds like Lyle Menendez’s wife is his support system.
