Menendez Gives Graphic Details of Night of Carnage : Trial: Pressed by prosecutor, he tells of reloading shotgun to shoot his mother as she crawled away.
Saying that his mother seemed to be "sneaking" away, crawling around a coffee table after being shot several times, Lyle Menendez testified Thursday that he reloaded his shotgun and shot her once more.

Speaking of Jose Menendez, Bozanich said: “He didn’t threaten you? He didn’t have a weapon? He didn’t do anything out of the ordinary?”
“Well, yes, he closed the doors,” Lyle Menendez said, meaning the doors to the TV room. That simple act convinced him death was “more than near,” he said.Jose Menendez “was not rising. He was standing. I just kept firing,” the son said.
Red emphasis mine.
Jose's closing the doors meant to Lyle that 'death was near'... ?
Seriously ?
It's not a threat and almost laughable to think that closing a door meant death to the brothers.

For anyone who has seen the crime scene photos , it sounds like Lyle lied about the dad's position when they started shooting:
Graphic warning :
Jose is seated upright on the sofa with his head disfigured on one side, and leaning over to his right.
If he was standing, he'd have severe wounds to the front of his face and maybe chest area ?
The photos after the bodies were removed show a large pooling of blood directly on the seat area of the sofa, so most of the bleeding happened right there.
Jose was not standing, imo, nor was he closing a door.
The most disrespectful part in the above link was said about Kitty, their own mother :
"...She was sort of sneaking around the side of the coffee table,” he said...."
It may be that she was wounded and crawling away in fear of her life, and after the initial shots hit her body, she may have been in total shock.
