I feel like anyone that still has doubts about the abuse or about WHY it happened, hasn't watched the court videos. Because there is NO way any person with average intelligence and empathy, can watch those videos and still be unsure. Those boys were TERRORISED. over 50 witnesses testified and every story they told was worse than the next. Most people that talk about this case are only able to talk about the 'highlights' eg the nude photos or the testimony from some of the family. But literally there is just SO much that is absolutely harrowing. Plus the experts that evaluated the boys for hours and all agree that they were abused viciously and driven to violence in an act of desperation and survival instinct. Then there's the 'shopping spree' which was literally just them spending a normal amount of money for them. They bought a house and car and made some investments, all advised and approved by their uncle/ aunt. They were treated in such an unfair way, it's insane. To not allow them to use 'battered person syndrome', to claim young boys cannot be raped. It's insane. The judge should be investigated. I could go on and on about all of the little details and why they were victims that should have gotten a much shorter prison sentence. To anyone on the fence or unsure, please just watch the court tapes. They're very long but you can watch them instead of Netflix...it's just as interesting to be honest

* Dr. Ann Burgess, an internationally recognized pioneer in the assessment and treatment of victims of trauma and abuse who worked with the FBI on criminal profiling, classified the crime scene as demonstrative of a lack of planning and high emotionality and testified that she believes the brothers' sexual abuse claims after evaluating them. * Psychologist Dr. Ann Tyler, who specializes in child abuse, evaluated Erik Menendez's family history, his claims and the psychological maltreatment he suffered. She concluded that it was one of the worst cases of psychological maltreatment that she had personally been involved with.

Just think about it like this: life is hard enough when a person is brought up under normal circumstances by 2 loving and supporting parents. Now just imagine how much more complicated life gets when you are abused by the very people who are supposed to live and protect you…

@maximilian9295 They haven't served their time. They were sentenced to life imprisonment. Many other people have lived through that and worse. Yet they didn't resort to murder. Even if it could be justified. Additionally, we don't know the truth. We only know what they've said. Maybe that's why they murdered their mom, too. She might have been able to refute the story.

@@timfrink9278 Yeah it's a weird one alright. Personally, I think if what they've said is accurate, justified would've been ending dad during or right after an abuse session. Had this occurred in 2020AD they could've video recorded it then gotten it to the cops.

Disagree .. these boys were Molested , sodomized! Threatened. if told . Mom knew ! Do they have regrets yes they do they were mentally distraught . Wasn’t cold blooded because just wanted to kill someone circumstances ! They didn’t go out and murder someone else or rape and some else , wasn’t drugs etc etc . Race has nothing to do with it . Sick of hearing g race . Yesany have been put in for life because of race and many have been released because of being blamed just because of that reason as well! Set Free ! They are trying to correct that issue. ! New laws in pace about about sending youths to prison for life without parole as well because a youth mind isn’t matured finished growing yet now if heavy into drugs as kid it can permanently damage your cognitive thinking ! That is so sad because so many kids getting involved in that ! Anyways they been in prison. Now 35 years . They are no danger to anyone. . They have worked hard while in prison . Therapy . Never been in trouble while prison . Many murderers get out after 25 years .

At 18 years old. His 2 sisters are drugs and alcohol. They are spiritually, mentally emotionally wounded. So please forgive so Jesus Christ can move in your life. I love you my friend.

Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? Jesus is the only way to Heaven. God loves us and sent Jesus His only son to Earth to die as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Believe in Jesus as your savior, and repent of your sins. Acts 4:12 12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father(God), but through Me. - John 14:6 This is the truth, your opinions won't matter when you die.
