The Menendez Brothers: "FROM MONSTERS TO MARTYRS: How TikTok Might Free Two Killers"
After 35 years in prison, the Menendez brothers are suddenly eligible for parole - and Erik is fighting for his life in a hospital. Reid Carter reveals how explosive new evidence, including allegations that Jose Menendez raped a Menudo band member, transformed America's most hated killers into TikTok heroes. The shocking May 2025 resentencing, Netflix's controversial dramatization, and the cultural revolution that changed everything. With their parole hearing just days away and Erik hospitalized with a serious condition, Reid exposes how two admitted murderers became Gen Z martyrs. Will society's changing views on male sexual abuse finally free the brothers who killed their parents?

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.960
Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter, and welcome
2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.519
back to Celebrity Trials. Yesterday we explored how two privileged
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.039
brothers from Beverly Hills became convicted killers. Today we're diving
4
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.879
into something even stranger, how those same killers became TikTok heroes,
5
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:31.519
Netflix stars, and possibly future free men. Because here's what's
6
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.840
wild about the Menendez case. It won't stay in the past.
7
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:40.200
Every generation rediscovers it and sees something different. In nineteen
8
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.399
ninety six, when Lyle and Eric were sentenced to life
9
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.479
without parole, that seemed like the end of the story.
10
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.560
Two rich kids had murdered their parents for money, tried
11
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.240
to blame it on abuse, and justice was served. Case closed.
12
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.280
Except the case never really closed. It just waited for
13
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.159
America to change its mind about male sexual abuse, waited
14
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.959
for social media to turn true crime into entertainment, waited
15
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.959
for new evidence to surface, and waited for a Los
16
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.920
Angeles District attorney willing to take another look. On May thirteenth,
17
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.640
twenty twenty five, just two months ago, Los Angeles County
18
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.359
Superior Court Judge Michael Jessich did something that would have
19
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.239
been unthinkable in nineteen ninety six, he resentenced the Menendez
20
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:33.400
brothers to fifty years to life, making them immediately eligible
21
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.920
for parole. After thirty five years behind bars, Lyle and
22
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.040
Eric Menendez suddenly had what they'd given up on hope.
23
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.319
But as I record this on Sunday, August third, twenty
24
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.640
twenty five, Eric Menendez isn't preparing for his parole hearing
25
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.920
in eighteen days. He's in a hospital bed with what
26
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.359
his family describes as a serious medical condition. His attorney,
27
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.359
Mark Geragos is pushing for an emergency medical furlough, and
28
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.519
America is once again debating whether two admitted killers deserve freedom.
29
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.960
Let me tell you how we got here, How two
30
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.199
of America's most hated criminals became causes celebris, how Netflix
31
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.039
and TikTok succeeded, where million dollar defense lawyers failed, and
32
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.120
why the Menendez brothers might actually walk free before the
33
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.680
year is out. After their convictions in nineteen ninety six,
34
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.960
Lyle and Eric Menendez disappeared into the California prison system.
35
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.080
They were sent to separate facilities, the California Department of
36
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.759
Correction's way of preventing them from coordinating stories or causing
37
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.719
trouble together for years, the brothers who'd done everything together,
38
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.159
including murder, couldn't even speak to each other. But here's
39
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.520
what's interesting about their time inside. By all accounts, they
40
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.000
were model prisoners, not just well behaved, actually productive. Both
41
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.000
earned college degrees, Both became peer counselors. Both got married,
42
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.599
because yes, even convicted parent killers can find love through
43
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.800
prison pen pal programs. Eric married Tammy Sackerman in nineteen
44
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.199
ninety nine. She'd started writing him after watching the trials,
45
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.840
and she's been his most vocal advocate ever since. Lyle
46
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.680
married twice, first to Anna Erikson in nineteen ninety six,
47
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.039
though she divorced him when she found out he was
48
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.719
writing to other women. He married Rebecca Snead in two
49
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.360
thousand and three, and before you ask, no, California doesn't
50
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:33.639
allow conjugal visits for life without parole inmates, these marriages
51
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.280
are about as physical as a zoom relationship. In twenty eighteen,
52
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.240
after more than twenty years apart, the brothers were reunited
53
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.960
at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. Witnesses
54
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.719
say they burst into tears when they saw each other.
55
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.240
Here were two men in their late forties who'd spent
56
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.199
more than half their lives in prison, hugging like the
57
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.800
boys they'd been when they decided to kill their parents,
58
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.639
and that image tu middle aged men who'd been boys
59
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.719
when they committed their crime is crucial to understanding how
60
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.919
public perception began to shift. In May twenty twenty three,
61
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.719
something happened that would have seemed impossible during the original trials.
62
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.439
New evidence supporting the brother's abuse claims surfaced, and it
63
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.560
came from the most unexpected source. Roy Rosello, a former
64
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.680
member of the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, came forward
65
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.079
in the Peacock docuseries Menudo plus Menendez Boys betrayed his
66
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.560
allegation that Jose Menendez had drugged and raped him in
67
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.000
the nineteen eighties when he was a teenager. Let me
68
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.360
put this in context for you. Menudo was the bts
69
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.959
of the nineteen eighties Latin music world. They were massive,
70
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.240
and Jose Menendez, as an executive at RCA Records, had
71
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.319
power over their careers. Rossello claims that Jose assaulted him
72
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.720
in a New York hotel room, and that this wasn't
73
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.800
an isolated incident with the band. Now one allegation from
74
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.439
decades ago doesn't prove the Menendez brother were abused, but
75
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.480
it does something crucial. It establishes that Hose Menendez may
76
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.480
have been exactly the predator his sons claimed he was.
77
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.879
It provides independent corroboration that the successful executive had a
78
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:18.560
pattern of abusing young boys. But wait, there's more, because
79
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.199
attorney Robert Rand, who's been investigating this case for decades,
80
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:26.279
found something in twenty eighteen that could have changed everything
81
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.639
if it had surfaced earlier. A letter allegedly written by
82
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.519
Eric Menendez to his cousin Andy Cano months before the murders.
83
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.439
The letter, which Rand says he found an addresser in
84
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.519
Cano's bedroom, appears to show Eric discussing the abuse. The
85
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.319
exact contents haven't been made fully public, but court documents
86
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.839
indicate Eric wrote about the abuse getting worse than his
87
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.600
fear of his father. Think about what this means. The
88
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.839
prosecution's whole case rested partly on the idea that the
89
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.759
abuse allegations were fabricated after the murders as a legal strategy.
90
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.959
But if Eric was writing about abuse use months before
91
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.600
he killed his parents, that destroys that narrative. It suggests
92
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.879
The abuse claims weren't made up for trial, they were
93
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.399
the ongoing reality the brothers were living with. Of Course,
94
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.360
former DA Nathan Hawkman, who took office after these developments,
95
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.120
isn't buying it. He's compiled a list of what he
96
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.000
calls sixteen unacknowledged lies the brothers have told over the years.
97
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.120
He points out that self defense claims don't work when
98
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.879
you buy guns in advance and ambush your parents while
99
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.360
they're watching TV. He's got a point, But here's what
100
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:38.079
Hawkman is up against. Public opinion has shifted dramatically, and
101
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.920
a lot of that shift has to do with how
102
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:45.160
we consume true crime in twenty twenty five, back in
103
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:59.439
a Moment. In September twenty twenty four, Ryan Murphy, the
104
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:04.240
guy behind American Horror Story and Glee, released Monsters the
105
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.240
Lyle and Eric Menendez Story on Netflix. It was the
106
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.680
second season of his true crime anthology following the Jeffrey
107
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.480
Dahmer series, and just like with Dahmer, Murphy's show turned
108
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.480
a decade's old case into water cooler conversation. But Eric
109
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.480
Menendez wasn't happy about it. In a statement released through
110
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.759
his wife, he called out the show's horrible and blatant
111
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.839
lies and accused Murphy of taking the case back to
112
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.800
an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a
113
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.639
belief system that males were not sexually abused. Here's what's fascinating.
114
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.279
Eric's criticism of the show might have done more for
115
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.480
his cause than the show itself. It reminded people that
116
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.240
these weren't just characters in Ryan Murphy production. They were
117
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.399
real people, still alive, still in prison, still maintaining their
118
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.959
abuse claims after thirty five years. Then, in October twenty
119
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.439
twenty four, Netflix doubled down with a documentary simply titled
120
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.120
The Menendez Brothers. This one featured actual prison interviews with
121
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:10.319
Lyle and Eric, no actors, no dramatization, just two middle
122
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.040
aged men in prison uniforms telling their story. The timing
123
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.839
couldn't have been better for the brothers or worse, depending
124
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.680
on your perspective, because suddenly everyone was talking about the
125
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.199
Menendez case again, and this time the conversation was very
126
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.639
different than it had been in nineteen ninety six. TikTok
127
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.840
exploded with Menendez content gen Z creators, most of whom
128
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.080
weren't even born when the murders happened, started making videos
129
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:42.480
defending the brothers. The hashtag Menendez brothers has billions of views.
130
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.679
Young people who've grown up in an era of hashtag
131
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.480
me too and greater awareness of male sexual abuse victims
132
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.120
saw the case through completely different eyes than the nineteen
133
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:57.559
nineties jury. The TikTok argument goes something like this, the
134
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:02.080
brothers were abused children who killed their abusers. They've served
135
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.840
thirty five years. Actual child molesters often get less time
136
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:12.360
free them. It's simplified. Sure, it ignores the premeditation, the brutality,
137
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.440
the lies, but it resonates with a generation that's more
138
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.799
willing to see victims as complex and violence as sometimes understandable,
139
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:25.919
if not justifiable. October twenty fourth, twenty twenty four, Los
140
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.639
Angeles District Attorney George Gascon dropped a bombshell. After reviewing
141
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.080
the new evidence, the shifting cultural understanding of male sexual abuse,
142
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:40.039
and the brother's exemplary behavior in prison, he was recommending resentencing.
143
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.039
Gascon's reasoning was careful and political. He said, I don't
144
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.159
believe that manslaughter would have been the appropriate charge given
145
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.080
the premeditation that was involved, but he also added, I
146
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.919
do believe that the brothers were subjected to a tremendous
147
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:00.399
amount of dysfunction in the home and molestation. Translation, they're
148
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.960
guilty of murder, but maybe not the kind of murder
149
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:07.759
that requires life without parole. The reaction was immediate and predictable.
150
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.080
Victims' rights advocates were furious. How could the DA recommend
151
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.679
leniency for two men who'd admitted to shotgunning their parents,
152
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.840
but supporters, including more than twenty Menendez family members, were ecstatic.
153
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.799
Joan Vandermuhlen Kitty Menendez, his own sister, held a press
154
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.200
conference saying, if Lyle and Eric's case was heard today,
155
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.799
with the understanding we now have about abuse and PTSD,
156
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.679
there is no doubt in my mind, their sentencing would
157
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.600
have been very different. Think about that the murder victim's
158
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.840
own sister was advocating for her killer's release. That's how
159
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.120
much the narrative had shifted. But then came a plot
160
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.879
twist worthy of Murphy's Show. In November twenty twenty four,
161
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.320
Gascon lost his re election bid to Nathan Hakman, a
162
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.919
former federal prosecutor who ran on a tough on crime platform.
163
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.639
Hawkman made it clear he opposed the resentencing, calling the
164
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:04.279
abuse claims fabricated and the brother's various explanations over the
165
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.879
years lies. For a moment, it looked like the brother's
166
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.720
hopes had died with Gascon's political career, but the legal
167
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.159
process had already been set in motion, and on April eleventh,
168
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.519
twenty twenty five, Judge Michael Jessex ruled that the resentencing
169
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:26.840
could proceed despite Hawkman's objections. Then came May thirteenth, twenty
170
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.720
twenty five, Judge Jesich resentenced to the brothers to fifty
171
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.960
years to life. Because they committed their crimes when they
172
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:39.159
were under twenty six, they immediately became eligible for parole
173
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.879
after thirty five years. The Menendez brothers finally had a
174
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:47.159
realistic path to freedom, but freedom isn't guaranteed. They still
175
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.480
need to convince a parole board that they're no longer
176
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.440
a threat to society, and that's where things get complicated.
177
00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:09.960
Back in a moment. As I speak to you on
178
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:14.000
August third, twenty twenty five, Lyle and Eric Menendez are
179
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.879
just eighteen days away from the most important hearings of
180
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.480
their lives. On August twenty first and twenty second, they'll
181
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.320
face the California parole Board. If they can convince the
182
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.080
board they're rehabilitated, they could be free by fall. But
183
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.320
Eric might not make it to that hearing. He's currently
184
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.159
hospitalized with what his family describes as a serious medical condition.
185
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:38.639
His attorney, Mark Geragos, the same guy who defended Michael
186
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.440
Jackson and Chris Brown, is pushing for an emergency medical furlough.
187
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.960
He wants Eric released immediately for medical treatment and to
188
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.879
prepare for the parole hearing. It's a dramatic turn that
189
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.840
even Ryan Murphy couldn't have scripted. After thirty five years
190
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.879
in prison, Eric Menendez might get out not because of
191
00:12:55.960 --> 00:13:00.080
changing attitudes about abuse, not because of TikTok campaigns, but
192
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:05.519
because he's too sick to stay inside. Meanwhile, Nathan Hashman
193
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.120
isn't giving up. He's submitted a recent psychological evaluation that
194
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.639
found the brothers at moderate risk of committing violence if released.
195
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.559
He's compiled his list of sixteen lies to present to
196
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.759
the parole board. He's fighting this release with everything he's got.
197
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.960
But here's what Hawkman is really fighting, a cultural shift
198
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.440
that's bigger than any one case. In nineteen ninety six,
199
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.679
male sexual abuse victims were punchlines not sympathetic figures. The
200
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:36.279
idea that boys could be raped by their fathers was
201
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.600
something people didn't want to believe. The Menendez brothers were
202
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.399
rich kids who killed for money. End of story. In
203
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.519
twenty twenty five, we live in a different world. We've
204
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.519
seen powerful men exposed as predators. We've learned that abuse
205
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.360
victims don't always act the way we expect. We've recognized
206
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.720
that trauma can make people do terrible things. The Menendez
207
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.240
brothers haven't changed we have. Does that mean they should
208
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.679
go free. That's for the parole board to decide. But
209
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.159
I'll tell you this, if Eric and Lyle Menendez walk
210
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.879
out of prison this year, it won't just be because
211
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.200
of new evidence or good behavior. It'll be because America
212
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.559
itself has changed its mind about who deserves sympathy and
213
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:22.080
who deserves a second chance. You know what strikes me
214
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.919
most about revisiting this case, It's not how much has changed,
215
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.960
it's how the fundamental question remains the same. Do abuse
216
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.480
victims who kill their abusers deserve mercy? And if so,
217
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.519
how much. The Menendez brothers have now spent more time
218
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.159
in prison than they spent free. They went in as
219
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.759
young men and might come out as grandfathers. They've earned degrees,
220
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:48.879
counseled other inmates, maintained marriages without physical contact by any
221
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.480
measure except the one that matters most, bringing their parents back.
222
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:57.120
They've been rehabilitated, But Jose and Kitty Menendez are still dead,
223
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.919
still shot multiple times at close range by their own children.
224
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.080
No amount of TikTok videos or Netflix documentaries changes that
225
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.639
fundamental fact. What has changed is our capacity for nuance.
226
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.440
In nineteen ninety six, you are either team prosecution their
227
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.279
greedy killers or team defense their abuse victims. In twenty
228
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.639
twenty five, most people acknowledge it can be both. They
229
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:25.279
can be killers and victims. They can deserve punishment and mercy.
230
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.759
They can be guilty and sympathetic. The parole board will
231
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:32.279
have to weigh all of this, the exemplary prison records
232
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.399
versus the brutal murders, the new evidence of Jose's predatory
233
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:40.840
behavior versus the premeditated nature of the killings, the brother's
234
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.919
youth at the time versus the decades they've already served.
235
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:46.039
And they'll have to do it while one of the
236
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.159
brothers fights for his life in a hospital bed, adding
237
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.799
another layer of drama to a case that's never lacked
238
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:55.799
for it. Here's my prediction. They're getting out. Not because
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.960
2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.519
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.039
4
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.879
5
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:31.519

00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.840
7
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:40.200
8
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.399
9
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.479
10
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.560

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.240
