No she wasn't. The were many women who worked as lawyers, judges, and prosecutors during the time. It was 1989, not 1889. 😂😂😅

[@serafinawaters2732]

I hate how they keep speaking over her!!!!

Because they knew everything coming out their mouths was absolutely stupid. They knew everything coming out of her mouth was facts, brilliance, smart wording. They are embarrassing.

[@Littlething41]

To the very point she was making, the media distorts the facts. I'm 47 and didn't know the extent of their abuse until now because of how its been presented and people like those men making fun of it 😢

[@123451248ify]

Saying the brothers shot in the direction of the parents, but they didn't blow off the parents' heads is not "speaking facts and truth." Leslie Abrahamson was trying to make the murder less gruesome than it was. The audience knew horse manure when they heard it.

[@lockel537]

Leslie is amazing

[@natashac7786]

Props to Leslie for standing her ground!! These men ganging up on her for being factual and then they try to make a serious case humorous

[@LovelyBun-ry8xt]

None did there research before having the menendez brothers name in there mouth

[@svtologist]

FACTSSS

[@123451248ify]

They didn't need to do research. You can discuss any topic you want when you have a show.

[@skyfitsheaven]

Ugh I don’t even wanna watch this because I know it will piss me off. Love Leslie

[@ratatouille6522]

Leslie held her own. She was confident, yet humble

[@Littlething41]

I felt the same way. I wasn't going to watch this. In law, your choice of terminology matters and that was her point.

[@JohnnyRiveraOficial]

Love this lady!!

[@SergioTheOne]

Can we give Leslie an award for saying *"Facts matter"* since 1997? Now we know just how right she was back then. And they were so disrespectful to her.

[@JoshuathePsychic]

Thanks so much for the upload. I love Leslie!

[@gimmeanidicanuse]

You are most welcome, Joshua. Glad you like the video.

I FUCKING LOVE HER. SHE KNOWS THE FACTS AND CORRECTS THEIR ASSES WHEN THEY TRY TO FABRICATE AND ASSUME. WE LOVE HER

[@jenniferh189]

Wow, I'm feeling really old here (this aired when I was in college). It is amazing how much times have changed in 25 years. Leslie Abramson is the only person making intelligent and accurate statements and the men just mock her. The audience mocks her too. This segment doesn't age well and I think it would play out totally differently today.

[@AlisonNorton.]

Pop off queen Leslie 👏💅

[@leslieabramsonfan7978]

She deserves so much respect, they made fun of her just because she is a women :/

[@yessyvascielo1131]

But she stood her ground as always ❤❤❤

[@megirosic]

All the people laughing are the part of the problem. They missed her point completely. Its very important for the facts that are presented in court to be very very precise. Blowing their heads of for killing them can make a significant difference in court. These men have no understanding of how important is to be very factual in court and how much damage a single word can make!

[@heatherjay843]

Leslie regarding the media:: "They don't tell us what's going on! They tell us their impression of what's going on.". sooo true

[@avafredrickson5533]

I love her so much❤️❤️ justice for the Mendez brothers

[@DaughtersofLilith52]

Semantics matter bc it shows the mindset of the criminal the situation the categorizing of the crime and then deciding the punishment. Obviously facts matter

[@aikoagustin5430]

This is what happens when the media is on a witch hunt. Even if the truth and facts slap them in the face, they'll just make it a joke. Are these people still alive with children and grand children? Will they still laugh, clap and call themselves amateurs if what happens to the twins happen to a loved one?

[@heatherjay843]

Evidence is such a difficult thing to understand especially if you’re not personally in the courtroom. It’s stupid how people who are obviously affected by the media had so much to say when they knew nothing compared to the fucking counsel of the trial.

[@123451248ify]

Marcia Clark prosecuted Robert John Bardo who killed actor Rebecca Schaeffer one month before the Menendez murders. Which inspired the Driver's Protection Act enacted in 1994. If you really want to feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for Schaeffer because she was murdered on her own doorstep. Her dying words were asking Bardo, "Why?" "Why?"

Facts are the difference between innocent people being convicted and guilty people walking free. She never denied they killed their parents but these men decided to ignore that it was self defense, not just parents being murdered. Yes it was brutal, but how kindly would you kill your parents if they constantly silenced, controlled, and SA'd you?

She's right though... If he said they blew there toes off... Its wrong but who cares if youre wrong because they killed them. Don't think that logic works Bill. And I don't like the joke one was trying to make about did they blow anything. That's shit after what them brothers went through and had to do. Don't judge.

[@egarr709]

Did bill Maher call the Millie vanilli monkeys? And I wonder how bill Maher feels about the Menendez case now

[@backbenchintellectual]

That's two of my biggest inspirations in the same room! Maestro Zubin Mehta and Leslie Abramson. I really wonder why the had Maestro Mehta as a guest in this particular segment though. As far as I am aware he has nothing to do with crime, law or media. Which seems to be really what brought the others together. Edit: I just watched the entire thing and it is still a mystery to me as why Maestro Mehta was invited for this segment. It was just an entire and complete waste of this wonderful man's time. He had the patience of a saint to just sit there and endure this coy bunch of m*therfuckers for God knows how long.

[@nq6508]

All you people defending Leslie are ridiculous. She was missing the entire point. It was a figure of speech and she went into defense mode and made herself look crazy. She only cares about how she looks on tv. Trials are public for a reason. It is called the court of opinion.

[@at_2527]

Those "figures of speech" are what lead the media to create sensationalist exaggerated headlines. These facts and distinctions do matter in court and they shouldn't be exaggerated and falsified for public entertainment. Thats why there continues to be so much misinformation.

[@reb0tco678]

lmfao look at you, criticizing Leslie for missing the point of a figure of speech in the same breath as doing it yourself. "the court of public opinion" doesn't refer to any actual court and it really shouldn't. making trials public in the age of television and internet serves less to make the process more transparent and more to turn it into a show.

[@Noname-yc5wm]

You didn’t listen closely enough to her.

[@angelstar9459]

13:15 she kinda sounded dumb there no wonder they all laughed at her

[@rubyl9871]

no she was stating facts lmao they weren’t

[@eeyana7929]

No way, you heard the conversation? They were talking about speaking FACTS when literally what they said was contrary to the facts on the case. 1) “they blew their parents head off” A FALSE statement. their heads were not blown off. He might have used a phase wrongly here when he might have ment they shot his parents in the head. 2) they reloaded. No this sentence is FALSE and not a fact because only ONE of them did. 3) she said if he just said that the bothers had killed their parents then she would’ve agreed because it a a WHOLE DIFFERENT POINT. She did not sound dumb.

[@nq6508]

​@@eeyana7929 she sounded really dumb and defensive. Everyone there knew it was just an expression. She only hates the media now because it made her look bad. Little does she realize, her personality and smug attitude is the reason people can't stand her.

[@Muirmaiden]

​@@nq6508She's smarter than them, she makes more sense, and how do you know people can't stand her? I'm pretty sure she doesn't care what you think of her. When they started bringing up misinformation about the Menendez case, she got defensive because she knows the facts of the case and they don't.
