quote:Im leaning to yes on being released as I think a 30 year sentence suffices. The hard part for me still is that they were 18+ and willfully went back to the house they werent legally forced to live in due to abuse that was never proven in court. We’re splitting hairs though. I dont think they are a danger to society due to the fact that they were never a danger to anyone other than their piece of shite parents.
Thought experiment- if we had proof they were diddled AND the mom was not murdered, we’d be 90%+ in favor of their immediate release, right?

Ok that’s an interesting point. Most people would probably cede that point; they are highly unlikely to be a threat to society. An unsentimental masculine perspective that prevails on this board hold says “ I don’t care” and the more feminized morall relativist norms that prevail in Los Angeles will say “ they were victims and they’ve paid their dues and they aren’t a threat to society ”.

Why do you think that is?
It has nothing to do with them killing their parents. Not to mention the ridiculous lack of evidence of abuse.
If true it doesn't matter and the credible evidence of abuse is non existent.
It's mind blowing that this is even a topic of discussion. It does say something about where we are as a society I guess.
I mean California actually put Leslie Van Houghton back on the street and she had an actual death sentence at one time so who knows, maybe the Menendez brother will be free with a popular podcast soon.

Nothing would shock me anymore in this day and age
They all but let the criminals run the cities and not far from infringing on the average persons rights

If they can prove that they were sexually assaulted, especially to the degree claimed…..let em out. If not……
Y’all claim national Plauche day every year, but say to hell with these guys?

I already made that point. It’s contradictory/ hypocritical concerning the father. But you just COMPLETELY glossed over the fact that they blew their MOTHERS head off.

Did the "he was a strict, demanding and unloving father" morph into "he sexually abused us!" when the first line of reasoning was unsuccessful?
it's been a long time but this is beginning to jog my memory, I believe this is exactly what happened, sexual abuse as a defense was just becoming en vogue back then, seems like the defense had run out of cards to play

I assume the judge thought it was prejudicial and not relevant.
Its certainly prejudicial, and its relevant.
They should still have been found guilty.

Wasn’t there an envelope with their nude pics in it labeled in their mom’s handwriting and other evidence that she was aware and did nothing?
Idk anymore then what I’ve seen in a documentary, so don’t really know, just pointing out hypocrisy when I see it.

Interestingly, had they just gone to the DA with actual proof, say semen stains and audio etc, they would have likely ended up with a big part of his estate anyhow.

I agree it’s hypocritical. In the one hand we support vigilantism for pedos every day on this board. But pointing out societal hypocrisy is not a reason for releasing people who shotgun their parents. Especially Mom.

Didn’t they wait in the dark garage until their parents came home and pulled into the garage.
Come on thats cold blooded

I mean, one of them went back to the car, reloaded his shotgun, and went back and finished the mom who was still alive and trying to crawl her way away

The patently false Netflix portrayal shows them as incestuous homosexuals…..which today’s society somehow relates to. I’m not sure how we got here but here we are. Even though you killed your parents if today’s fruitcake society thinks your gay with your biological brother you get a get out of jail free card! Unreal.

I would be surprised to learn that the mother did not know, and was in fact enabling the father. Anyone who looks deeply into incestuous families soon learns that this is not unusual, shocking as it is. The rage at the mother, whose duty is to protect her children, for failing in this most basic duty, can far exceed anger towards the abusive father. Most enabling mothers seem to be motivated by not wanting to lose the financial support of the father, perhaps fear of him, a desire to escape their own marital duties, and not wanting to face raising their children as a single mother, with the concomitant loss of status.

If it wasn’t about the money, they’d have figured out a way to only kill the dad. Even if it was only partially about the money they should stay in jail. Hell even if you only believe the money just crossed their minds they need to stay put.

Yes. They planned every sociopathic aspect of it far in advance. Murder one.

What's the evidence of this other than the statements provided by the brothers AFTER the double murder?
This has always been my point of contention from day one when that testimony was entered into the trial.
How convenient of them to suddenly come out with allegations of sexual abuse AFTER they brutally murdered their parents and were facing the death penalty. They were both of age and could have just as easily gone to the law with these allegations to have them handle it and if true, good old dad would be off to prison, but they chose to shotgun both of them to death.
Oh, and getting someone to corroborate their story is as easy as "Hey, you back me up on this and their could be a nice surprise in your bank account" since they had control over their dead parents estate.

They were over 18. They could’ve just moved out of the house and went to the police to report their parents for child abuse and rape. Hell, if their claim had any validity, they could’ve also sued their parents civilly. But they wanted the fricking money and they wanted it right away. There were sports cars and Rolexes to be bought.
