I lament that this beautiful, empathic , promising young man had to spend most of his life behind bars after dealing with a huge amount of trauma inflicted since early childhood. I hope that he and his brother get soon the chance to experience life as free and happy individuals.

[@michelleb3698]

I empathise with what they endured, but they killed their parent’s. Many grow up under far more brutal circumstances & don’t take that route. Sentimentalising the brothers doesn’t alter the reality & horror of what they did.

[@MlleNorah]

@@michelleb3698 It's not sentimentalizing, it's being compassionate, merciful and understanding. I doubt that there is more brutal circumstances than being so*domised by your own father at age 7 and being denied maternal love .

Kitty started to show her pain. Sad story all around but these guys are guilty of Planning the Murder and trying to get off by adding the sexual abuse to get off.

[@gwen08g]

I think so too.

[@xxgachalemonxx1343]

I disagree. In a previous trial, Erik had explained that he had attempted to go to Brown university to live on campus but was forced to go into the California university where he had to live at home. It is hard disobeying your parents especially when they’re abusive and threaten killing you if you run away so that would’ve made it extremely difficult for them to get away. Lyle could get away, however since he’s an amazing brother, he did not want to leave Erik

[@beatlesnU2fan0526]

"Why didn't she just leave?" is a classic question we ask of women who were battered, and it completely ignores the reality of being in an abusive environment. Abusive environments make you feel like you are trapped and cannot leave. Erik also tried to run away when he was 12 and his father caught him and told him "you'll never get away, and if you try to run away again, I will kill you." They felt they did not have the option of just running away at the time.
