The rising push to free the Menendez brothers has left their former prosecutor stunned.

Although her efforts during the 1993 trial famously resulted in a hung jury, Pamela Bozanich reminded viewers in Netflix s new documentary The Menendez Brothers that Lyle and Erik Menendez eventually were convicted of killing their parents and also warned potentially violent skeptics not to try her.

The only reason were doing this special is because of the TikTok movement to free the Menendi, Bozanich says toward the end of the documentary, which was released Monday. If thats how were gonna try cases now, why dont we just, like, have a poll?

You present the facts, everybody gets to vote on TikTok, and then we decide who gets to go home, she continues. Your beliefs are not facts. Theyre just beliefs. And by the way, all you TikTok people, Im armed. We got guns all over the house. So dont mess with me.

Bozanichs comments spurred backlash on X , formerly called Twitter, from people who called her a horrible person for using her 15 minutes of fame to threaten TikTok users for supporting the siblings. (A search for free the Menendez brothers on TikTok spawns millions of results.)

The brothers have maintained since their first trial that they killed their parents, Jos and Kitty Menendez, in self-defense and in fear for their lives after years of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. The proceedings spawned untold media attention and a retrial in 1995.

They were ultimately convicted on two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances for lying in wait, as well as conspiracy to murder.

The case has had a resurgence recently because of the documentary and Ryan Murphys high-octane Netflix series about the brothers. Following the series release, Kim Kardashian used her status as an advocate for criminal justice reform to meet with them .
