Menendez Brothers Confession Tape

Описание: The December 11, 1989 tape recording of the session between Dr. Jerome Oziel and the Menendez brothers.

Oziel: I mean your father was a totally crazy man. One way of controlling somebody so that they never develop any sense of identity... It's a way of keeping total control over someone, so it wasn't only controlling the flow of information... he would put her totally under his control... and to uh, to just completely control you, you- use money and power to control you, to use money and power um, to control you, um, Erik, and to use it absolutely to control, uh, your mom, and- I mean, isn't that really- isn't that really after all, isn't that what it was about, killing him? I mean, wasn't it about the amount of absolute control and the ruthlessness?... do you think that your father basically was so much on automatic pilot in terms of being focused on control and domination that you- did he not care, or do you not know?

Erik: I just don't like hearing it.

Oziel: Well what does that mean?

Erik: I don't like hearing it.

Oziel: You don't like hearing what?

Erik: I don't like hearing these things about my father.

Oziel: Okay, what are you feeling?

Erik: Upset.

Oziel: And?

Erik: Hurt.

Erik: My father and my mother were...were two people that I loved and... I had no choice. I would have taken any other choice... uh, I much regret it. I may not have had a choice at the time, but I regret it now and I simply don't like hearing my father put in this sort of way.
