The case of the Menendez brothers has long captivated public interest, but there’s a crucial aspect that requires reevaluation: the deceit and fabrication surrounding Craig Cignarelli’s involvement. In 1989, Cignarelli falsely claimed that Erik Menendez confessed to him about the murder of their parents. This alleged confession was not only unverified but also plagiarized from a fictional screenplay about a wealthy young man killing his parents for inheritance. This misinformation played a significant role in shaping public perception and the legal proceedings.

What remains overlooked is how Cignarelli, rather than being a credible informant, was actually a con artist who manipulated the police. He was not a friend of Erik; instead, he was allegedly the mastermind behind various local burglaries and had a falling out with the Menendez family. José Menendez, discerning Cignarelli's true intentions, allegedly banned him from their lives, a detail that has not been adequately explored by the media or the justice system.

This petition seeks to uncover the truth and push for a re-examination of the Menendez case, focusing on Cignarelli's role and the integrity of the investigation he influenced. Fraud was apparently committed during the initial inquiry, and the doors to justice have since remained closed. By addressing these oversights, we can help ensure a fair and unbiased review of the evidence and shine a light on any potential miscarriages of justice.

Craig Cignarelli wasn’t Erik’s best friend, here are the truth!
Craig Cignarelli lied that Erik menendez had confessed to the murder, he fabricated it and made it all up, he plagiarised it from the screenplay he and Erik Menendez wrote, he never told anyone, not his family, relatives and anyone that Erik had confessed to him, Craig Cignarelli was the mastermind and the ringleader who dragged both Erik and Lyle into the burglary things, Erik menendez had hidden the fact that Craig was the mastermind who dragged both brothers felon the burglary things,
After Jose Menendez found out that Craig was the mastermind and the ringleader who dragged the brothers, he was very furious and kicked and banned Craig from the household, he lied to the detectives, the prosecutors, both on court and during the interviews that he was Erik’s best friend,
he wasn’t his best friend, he lied that Erik had confessed to him about the murder, when in reality, he plagiarised that fake confession from the screenplay
the reason why testified against Erik was because of revenge and retaliation of being banned by Jose, after the arrest, Craig to a defense that he was going to be rich and famous,he wasn’t a witness, he wasn’t a friend, he only testified against Erik because he was so mad that he was rejected by Jose menendez and that he was banned from the house,
he lied to Pamela Bozanich, Lied to David Conn, lied to carol Najera, and lester kuryiama,
he committed perjury in both trials, and lied to the detectives and conned, scammed the state, the reason why became a tennis instructor, a writer was to steal Erik’s plattform and avoid prosecution,
The fact That Nathan Hochman ignored the fact that he wasn’t a witness is appalling, the fact that he was bragging that he is Erik’s best friend is so suspicious, he was stalker, fraud and liar, no media had ever exposed him, no true crimes accounts had ever done research about Craig Cignarelli, and they never exported him and lied, he conned law enforcement, the media the public, he lied that Erik was his best friend when he wasn’t, he was never his best friend, the fact he claimed and bragged about Erik being his best friend, is very suspicious and it’s obsession, his lies has been undetected and overlooked for too long, Craig Cignarelli even bullied and harassed and threatened Erik, before the murder, during the violent confrontation before the killing, Craig once threatened and bullied Erik, and Erik Menendez throwed the screenplay and Craig was once furious about this, one witness testified that Craig Cignarelli had threatened Erik Menendez, Jose menendez dragged Erik inside and told Craig that if he showed the house again, he would kill him, Erik Menendez hated that screenplay that he and Craig wrote, and he regrets participating in it, he completely hated that screenplay, Craig lied about Erik menendez to the police, to the detectives, and to the prosecutors and to the media, for money, to secure criminal immunity, he wasn’t Erik’s best friend, their relationship had already ended prior, before Craig, Erik menendez and Lyle never had any history of criminal records, history of crimes, Craig was a bad influence on Erik and this had been overlooked, the media had ignored and overlooked it, the justice system have ignored it, overlooked it, they let him walk free while Erik is in prison, he should be investigated,
for perjury and obstruction of justice, the media owed the brothers an apology, the public owes an apology, and it’s appalling that Nathan Hochman opposes the brothers releases, and ignores the fact that Craig had scammed and conned the prosecutors,
Jose menendez paid the victims quickly and Craig Cignarelli avoided prisons end escaped accountability for the bulgary, Jose paid the victims quickly, 
We call upon the legal system to take action: reopen the Menendez brothers’ case and fully investigate the claims made by Craig Cignarelli. Doing so may not only reveal crucial truths but also restore a sense of justice for those wrongly implicated by his actions. We urge everyone who believes in the integrity of justice to sign this petition and add their voice to our call for truth and transparency, Craig cignarelli has been repeating the lies he told to the prosecutors during the trials,the lies that Erik had confessed to him about the murder, which is completely false, he plagiarized the fake confession from the screenplay, friends about a rich man killing his own parents, for inheritance, Craig Cignarelli was the one who dragged the brothers and Erik into the whole bulgraries and he was the ringleader of the bulgraries, he lied to the police to hide and avoid prosecution for the bulgraries

The defense called Douglas Doss, the head tennis professional at the Calabasas Park Tennis Club who had trained both Erik and Craig. Doss testified under oath that immediately after the brothers were taken into custody, Cignarelli cornered him at the club and arrogantly boasted that he was going to be "rich and famous" because he held the inside track on the Menéndez case. Doss's testimony legally proved Cignarelli felt zero trauma—he viewed the family tragedy purely as a commercial lottery ticket to secure Hollywood film rights and book deals while Erik sat behind maximum-security bars, The Wired Stalking Sting: In November 1989, law enforcement outfitted Cignarelli with a hidden body wire to act as an active police stalker and trap Erik into acting out their old high school script

 

Cignarelli literally pivoted his entire life track into becoming a professional tennis coach, director, and academy writer. By stepping onto the tennis courts, Cignarelli adopted a wholesome, disciplined public mask to permanently camouflage his true history as a toxic informant who masterminded the 1988 Calabasas burglaries and scammed law enforcement

 

Cignarelli lied about the confession strictly to secure immunity, forcing the brothers behind bars while he walked away clear to build a career on the court

 

Immediately following the March 1990 arrests, Cignarelli retained a specialized Hollywood entertainment industry lawyer to field commercial story rights, exclusive news options, and book deals,

After Erik and Lyle’s parents died, Craig never called Erik to offer condolences, never called Erik to offer condolences 

 

Craig’s lies 

““"let's do it!. We walked outside to the front of the house and got the guns. We walked back inside and Lyle was to shoot my dad and was supposed to shoot my mother".
"We went into the room and Lyle pointed his gun at my dad and shot him. He then went over and shot him in the head. was unable to shoot my mom and she tried to get away. Lyle shot her too. After it looked like my mother was dead, shot her twice with my gun. I ran out the back door and jumped the fence to the front. We drove away from the house and approximately one hour later we returned and discovered them. We called the police. We did it for the money. My father taught me everything, the only thing that he didn't teach me was how to live on my own"   Craig cignarelli dragged Erik and Lyle into the bulgraries and exploited Erik and took advantages and lied to the police for money, Craig is now a tennis coach in North Carolina, teaching kids tennis while obstructing justice and getting away with lying to the police, 

 

Erik Menendez was Craig Cignarelli! Craig was the one who dragged Erik Menendez into the bulgarys, and Craig used Erik! Erik is also Craig’s victim, the reason why Craig engaged in burglary was for money, and he used, manipulated Erik Menendez,  Craig took advantage of Erik’s trust!
