Erik Menendez’s wife, Tammi, opened up to ET in 2005 about how they met, getting married in prison and what she saw as the biggest misconceptions about her incarcerated husband. Tammi also recalled watching the Menendez brothers trial on TV before she met Erik, how he proposed behind bars and what first drew her to one of the country’s most infamous killers. Erik and brother Lyle were given a life sentence with no parole option, in the wake of their 1996 conviction for murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez.
