Lyle Menendez describes prison reunion with brother

[@arieslanae3157]

the fact that they kept brothers away from each other for 22 years is even more sick than the whole case already is.

Couldn't agree more. Lyle and Erik love each other so much, this must have been unbearable for them!

You're kinda leaving out how they murdered their parents and lied about it

[@md_0518]

@@aydenthrilkill2151 You see...they murdered their abusers, who sexually harassed them, tortured them who in name are called "parents". That was an act of self defence. They were in a situation to either kill or be killed. And moreover they weren't mature enough to think about consequences.they didn't have a childhood and the court took away their adulthood as well. This case was pure injustice.

They are not killers but victims.

[@yodaguy6956]

carrollyn aragon there's lots of reason to think they really were sexually abused, which definitely must open the discussion of being more understanding about motive

[@candycrush5706]

carrollyn aragon I know it's hard to believe parents abuse their kids , but it happens. Unless you have walked a mile in their shoes , you can't know the pain or betrayal, the fear of not knowing when they will go too far and that will be the end. Something that you pray for sometimes, but something you are also terrible afraid of. They tell you , if you tell that's the end , no more house , no more food and if mommy and daddy goes to jail it's your fault. A terrible burden for a child to carry. You are so brainwashed that you think everything is your fault. You don't see options. Some people get a miracle and someone saves them , others are not so lucky. These two boys should be freed , they have paid enough for taking human lives , they endured years apart from each other , I don't think people realize they were each other's life line. That was the cruelest punishment of all.

[@Muirmaiden]

carrollyn aragon, that doesn't make a good parent. Giving kids money and gifts doesn't make up for unconditional love. My parents gave me the bare necessities but abused me. Should I be grateful for the mistreatment I received just because they gave me a roof over my head? There were times when I didn't want to go home. Children are entitled to the right of being cared for, and that goes beyond food and clothing. A child doesn't ask to be born, and being a parent is a privilege, not a right.

[@candycrush5706]

Muirmaiden I just want to give you a hug 💕 I have worked with many abused children , it rips your soul out. To see what parents are capable of is soul destroying.

[@outsiders4951]

They have both served 22 years, I think they should be let free now, especially considering the fact they were sexually abused by a big scary guy who probably intimidated them into silent compliance. I don't think they are a danger to society, for fucks sake let them go, they have suffered big time and lost their prime years rotting in jail, what is the purpose of keeping them in there? I think they deserve at least another trial where the details of their sexual abuse can be shown unlike the second trial they had where the judge ruled the information out for some reason, resulting in them receiving life jail sentences, its just so sad in all aspects, let them live the second part of their lives free, they have paid the price already.

Yeah they deserve any chance of happiness for murdering their parents mercilessly and enjoying the riches they inherited.

[@whoszara]

@@lights473 that's bullshit. while i'm not saying that murdering someone is okay, their dad molested and raped them for years. do you have any idea what kind of impact that has on the brain of a young child? they didn't know what to do. their father said that if they told anyone, those bad things would happen. while that doesn't justify what they did, it does explain why they did it. and then after going through the trauma of being raped by their father, they got sentenced to their whole lives in prison. after being the only thing each other had while they were being abused, they were separated from each other. so to recap, they got raped and abused by their father for years, they were sentenced to their entire lives in prison, and on top of that, they weren't even in the same prison. i think that's enough trauma for them to deserve at least an ounce of happiness.

I'm glad they're together. I remember reading or perhaps seeing on TV, about a man who was a dinner guest at the Menendez's home when these 2 were kids. One of them said something which the father didn't like. Jose Menendez, the father, got angry and told him he would see him later. The guest wrote or said he's been shocked by the horrible panic these simple words caused on the kid. It was something that has stayed with me. Jose Menendez, as a rich Cuban-American, was well capable of violence towards his children. Of course, there's no excuse for killing someone except in self-defense, especially their mum. Some argue it was a fight or flight response from very confused kids. I think by now they have served their time and it's good to see them back

[@jerryg3524]

@Luis Perez Ok I see I've expressed myself incorrectly. I was just reacting to the TV report I mentioned in my comment and why I think one should now show the Menendez bros. some mercy. I have no idea why one of them was so terrified as a boy. And no, I do not think rich Cuban-Americans are disposed to violence. I would apologize for giving this wrong impression except that you're putting words into my mouth. Where did I write that rich Cuban-Americans are basically animals? I still think in general much wealth can turn some parents, men in particular, into despots. History books have gruesome examples of kings who abused their sons. Of course, in the homes of the poor domestic violence from parents to children is also a problem. But the reasons are different & usually the result of poverty, unemployment & alcohol

Lyle was, is and will continue to be a great brother no matter what. He only wanted to protect himself and his younger brother Erik from those monsters and yet nobody will believe them. They have served their time and deserve to be let out, they were sexually, physically, emotionally and mentally abused by both of their parents and they still got a life sentence because it all got disregarded. I hope to see the day I will watch the news and see these beautiful boys have been let out. We love them so much.

[@nisx1615]

Glad that they reunited. It must have been hard for them being apart, as they had no one but each other. Also they served enough time in prison. Just let them free.

[@saratfkh]

These brothers should not be in jail this is absolutely outrageous can't stop crying

[@natcura2]

I'm glad the brothers are still close.

[@sanafahad6578]

I really want them to be free. When people are abused, be it sexual or emotionla, people do things to somehow get rid of that abuse at whatever cost. Free them already

[@maddieleitch8173]

their intentions had a good enough reason to not get a life sentence. so sad. living the life they did is numbing and horrible and no one could understand what it does to someone and their mind. cruel to separate them too. they needed each other.

[@romystumpy1197]

Don't forget the mother used to bath lyle up to a teenager she used to lay with him in bed and do things.she was violent drunk saying she wished they hadn't been born .

[@raggedyanne9631]

I love how respectful abc was with this can’t say the same about Barbara walters

[@epicf4iry]

i was so happy for them on this day ❤

[@lovepet4565]

Why can they not be let out on parole? Cmon!! This case must be reviewed in the appeals court. They were young

[@kaz4531]

yes, because murder doesn't count when your young

[@kaylinwhite6584]

They have exhausted all of their appeals and they can’t get parole because their sentence was life with parole. Also they were adults when they murdered them not kids.

[@sweetcaramel4750]

LET THEM FREE ❤

[@IsaSullli]

When men have emotions listen❤️😭theyve been strong for to long

[@ericagosier1437]

I have a question. We're are the rights of the victims which are the Menendez boys. How are they getting help. I understand be punished for a crime. The real crime is the kids we're being raped by there father with no help from the mother. When the oldest tried to reach out for help he didn't get it and started to molest his brother. Then on his own he realized this change of events need to be stopped. So the only thing the boys had in the world was each other and stopped there pain because they had no one to help them. Instead of giving them mental help and try and fix the problem you lock them up and separate them. I don't call that justice. There are alot of victims that get punished for protection there self after they try to get help from there abuser and when they don't get help and get tired of being hurt they defend there self then here comes the help to lock them up. So sad that's why people are disappearing, ending up in the hospital, on drugs etc etc. Because they are not being heard or helped. Before you give a punishment even as a parent you need to find out why something happen before you give a punishment. The worst thing of all these are men that were being abused and yes it happens and when things are not handled properly then it's hard for other male victims to speak up. May the Lord be with these men he knows there heart

[@jillrosenberg3442]

I am glad they are finally together again after all these years.

[@taylorhelton9616]

They should not be in prison!

[@susanpettit5505]

I'm sure u both will cry when u get released ❤ people are behind u for your release . UK 🇬🇧

It makes me very sad that they were separated for so long.. I have 2 boys (Irish twins) have never gone so long without one another..

Lyle, my house is your home in Africa, away from the chaos. I believe you ❤

It was cruel thing to separate them. Even more cruel than life sentences.

Glad they are together again

Damn sucks they had to do that , terribly parents, at least both brothers are together now , mistakes were made in life but their love for one an other is strong ...

yeah and they bought ferrari and rolex the day after. how fuckin puritan and concealing are you americans about sex and please update me about mom's crime, eventually.

[@sanjuanaflores9500]

There was no reason to be separated i imagine it was terrible for them to be separated believing that they would never see each other again. These boys should never have gone to jail they should taken psychological help to heal the past and be happy. I am happy for them that they are together again after so many years.

[@sisandangiba8666]

I've always been conflicted about these brothers. I wonder if they were telling the truth.

[@QQ-og3ui]

You're a dumbfuck

[@toduno927]

Why would Lyle lie about molesting his own brother?? Make it make sense, that would make him look bad. He's either lying about the whole thing or telling the truth

[@whoszara]

@@toduno927 exactly. and did you see their emotions when speaking about it? i don't care what you say but their facial expressions and the pain in their eyes are that of a victim, not an actor.

[@elissadavis5657]

They went shopping for Ferraris & Rolex watches, after they killed their parents.....

[@beatrixbrennan1545]

​@elissadavis5657 who cares? Didn't mean they weren't r@ped by their father!

[@rd2dab]

Those 2 should be out of prison . They killed a child molester that's is . they are not killers just desperate for sexual abuse to stop . Its crazy people get away with murder now and let out so fast but these 2 not.

[@bonedyouuu9860]

Set them Free

[@nishasanchez9370]

They both are at peace with in there self and don't have no problem doing life ,just as long as there not getting abused no more ...this is a true sad story !

[@Vanessa-yx7hg]

Free the brothers already

[@wholethedogsout880]

justice for the menendez brothers

[@samward8154]

Disgusting parents. The dad was sick but the mother was worse, she was the one who should have protected her sons above all else. When children are sexually abused, there will have been been years of being told to keep quite and there is a lot of shame, anger and guilt. Imagine learning that your mum knew all along and did nothing to protect. It seems on the day that the younger brother found out that his mother had always known, he decided his dad would never touch him again. I'm no expert but it seems mums often turn against their own kids, caught up in all sorts of emotions including regret and jealousy. These boys have served their time and should be released.

[@vallensmith822]

The fact that people still don't care that they where SEXUALLY ABUSED THEIR WHOLE LIFE is just stupid
