@@human-ln1ymit’s not an excuse, but it’s a hugely relevant factor in whether the crime was cold blooded, psychopathic type behaviour or was a response to trauma. How can you not comprehend that an abused person murdering their abuser is not the same as a random murder for no reason except the murderer wanted to kill? There are a number of factors relevant when sentencing someone for a crime. Public safety: if these boys killed their parents because of severe abuse by their parents, they are not a threat to the public. Deterrence: yes, to a small degree it can be assumed that prison time will deter others from murdering their abusers, but it won’t deter everyone, just as it didn’t in the present case if the abuse allegations are true. Punishment: they do not deserve the same punishment as what they did is, by the law of nature/morality, not the same as other murders where there was no abuse that led to the murder.

[@human-ln1ym]

@caitlincassandra well they planned a whole murder... just bc they were mentally hurt from possibly being abused is a factor, yes, but I still disagree that they should be freed... they still took two lives.... and no one knows if the abuse really is true.... and you guys are kinda just seeing one side of the story based on a picture... and what was said... in my opinion, I don't think they deserve to be free... but it's just my opinion and I can't change your mind and I don't want to.

You can tell the kid on the right has gone through something. You can tell when the sweet, blissful innocence is wavering, draining from their eyes. I've been in a mental hospital myself (dw im ok, im not trying to make this about me anyhow) They have a look that will never leave your psyche. It takes one to know one and we recognise each other.

[@zoespiteri5034]

Oh thanks that is so very true. It doesn't get easier. We learn about self reliance and growth because we've been given zero and have had to be on the ball. Faces who have sorrow are all around us. Unfortunately but true

[@Listening-Lynnie]

I'm so so sorry. I reported what I witnessed and was the one removed from fam. Do I go back? What more can I do

[@BubbleGummiii]

@@Listening-Lynnie sorry, I'm not understanding the situation here... What I understand is you were in an abvsive family, reported to someone for help, then got kicked out? You should try to reconnect with family if you desire, but only those who never made you feel unwanted or unloved

I saw it too..and was thinking the same thing when i read ur comment... The sad and terrifying Reality is i'm seeing that look alot more in kids... I've always felt like it was the last expression our innocent inner child made as it was being sniffed out...like a far away..unfocused..numb...look..it's amazing the stories the eyes will tell if u are fluent in the language 😢😢

Whats even crazier is that they were shown in a NBA Mark Jackson trading card. The photo of the card is taken the night of the murder.

[@graveside_glitz1015]

I say a documentary about them that the first trial they did they told about all the sexual and physical abuse that he did on them. But the judge said none of that can be used on the 2nd trial they had. I can’t remember why, I believe it was Bailey Sarian video. I totally believe they were abused by their father.

[@MyrtleTaylor-i8d]

This photo says it all. They couldn't tell on them not one person would have believed them and when they did tell no one believed them. What was anyone expecting?, they had one choice in their minds. It wasn't for money but the money helped.

If the abuse is so bad that they would kill their own parents, that should say something. Murder is not pretty, I feel like people forget how gruesome, gory, tragic, and disgusting it is, and I feel like people underestimate what abuse can actually do to someone. I cant imagine what they went through.

[@doorschick89]

There are victims, that are speaking out about the abuse, their dad put them through. He wasn't just keeping it in the family. Pretty sure it's being looked into, by their lawyers. I wouldn't be surprised, if they get a retrial.

[@michellelambert8729]

The Menendez actually look happier in jail than in the photo with their father.

[@LauraKiwi]

Yeaah..the photo clearly shows how "happy" that one boy is. The "smile" on his face tells everything. Whenever someone touched me where I didn't want them to, I'd automatically put my hand on top. Like it's some kind of protective mechanism that automatically acures, I feel like that boy feels the same way. 😓

[@rinoz47]

So if they killed them, why was there an exposure threat? Why not follow through?

[@GreebleClown]

It’s been quite a while, but if I recall correctly they were afraid of not being believed, having the abuse public (it can be just as devastating having to relive it and feeling like everyone everywhere knows what happened to you, especially for men and at the hands of a family member at that), and the father had threatened countless times before and that day to kill them if they told. They were very traumatized children who grew into traumatized young men with a rich and influential father and a mother who didn’t give a crap.

[@sanapooopy]

What is an exposure threat?

[@GlitchBoy-ws5in]

"WHY ARE THEY NOT THE PERFECT VICTIM!!!!"

[@saimashapi3819]

I truly have always believed they were very abused with parents who were absolutely demonic behind closed doors. All that glitters isn't GOLD. ABUSE HAPPENS AT ALL LEVELS.

[@Extrordinare-e1g]

It always seemed unfair to me that no one seemed empathetic at the time to see that abuse of that degree will drive a person to desperate measures. As though they have no right to stop the abuse. Not justifying murder. But torcher with no end in sight.....well what would you do?

Their abuse was corroborated by tons of family members. I can’t remember if it was a mistral or hung jury.
