Erik Talks About How He Felt When He Had To Testify For The First Time.

Erik talks about how he felt when he had to testify for the first time.

I remember being terrified about taking the stand. I was, really really really afraid. So afraid, I remember the day I was supposed to testify I took My Xanax, and I took Lyle's Xanax. I couldn't handle it. They had to cancel my first day on the stand because of it. And now I got watched when I took Xanax after that cause I was just, my anxiety was through the roof.

I remember when I first took the stand. I was blanking out. I, I, I – It was terrible. And after that, I just began to shut down. I remember when I first got on the stand I started shutting down. I started to describe what my dad had, - had been doing to me from the time I was a kid. And I just started to be able to talk about it and I couldn't even think. I couldn't - my brain would begin to shut down. - Erik Menendez.
