Should the Menendez Brothers Be Released?

The Menendez brothers’ case remains one of the most controversial in American legal history. Convicted of killing their parents, Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to life without parole. But new evidence has surfaced-letters, testimonies, and even victims of their father’s abuse-that could change everything.
In this video, I dive into their story, the original trial, the abuse they endured, and what this new evidence means for their potential parole. Can the Menendez brothers find redemption? Or should they remain behind bars? Watch to explore the complexities of justice, abuse, and second chances.

Funfact. The Menendez Brothers are on an NBA rookie card. The photo they used for a player was taken at a game they had courtside seats for

I saw that too !!!!

So many people are simply unable to accept how warped the reality of daily life is for abused kids. I grew up with an abusive father and mother who unfailingly defended his actions. Any interaction with my father began with aggression from him - raised voice and grabbing me harshly at a minimum. I would be beaten as punishment for things like my brother punching me because "you provoked him until he had no choice but to lash out at you" and for stuff I didn't do, often involving bizarre theories of how I managed to do it unseen. My parents had surrounded themselves with people who supported them even as they saw the abuse, believing my parents' claim that I was an inherently bad kid. The case in question happened when I was at the start of my teens and that abuse was getting really bad. I honestly considered if life in prison would be better than my home life and knew that if I did it I would most likely face charges as an adult from the start as I lived in Pennsylvania where a 9 year old was charged as an adult with murder the same year as the Menendez killings.

I Understand What your saying. I'm Sorry you went through All that. 🤗🙏💞

Never should be released ever never ever. I get why people abuse& can have massive emotional problems, been there, but that doesn't mean they should have offed the parents. PLUS, supposedly partied with their deceased parents money. Having parties etc., buying flashy watches or whatever else showed zero remorse. I believe in second chances, but absolutely not those brothers ever

[@johnsohc]

Exactly!!!

[@johnsohc]

Hell no!!!

[@priscillamoscatt]

The defence of abuse was presented, it was just not as extensive because Lyle did not testify.

@~0:50, "initially they went out and spent a lot of money and lived it up." People using this against them kinda reminds me of the Justin Su case a few years ago. Because Justin didn't react "correctly" to discovering his dead mother, cops interrogated him for hours and hours. Obviously, the facts of the cases are very different, but I think both illustrate the fact that everybody reacts to trauma differently and that there's no "right" way. They should be released.

[@Sevenmyths]

Yes they should be released. Time served.

[@gina_dee.1111]

Agreed 👍💯

[@cristalhenson95]

I think they should be resentenced because of the new evidence. Gypsy Rose got out in 8 years. They have been behind bars for over 30. I do not condone what they did, but if this new evidence was presented at the 1st trial would they have received the sentence they got. Don't know.

[@pamelawalton1643]

If they would have been allowed to talk about the Sexual Abuse In the Second Trial, they would have gotten Manslaughter. Therefore, they would have already exceeded the number of years of incarceration required for that charge. Time To Go Home ‼️‼️‼️

You sound different man. Keep following up on that neurological issue. Something off.

[@JesseShaffer-k4j]

I thought the same soon he started talking

[@pamelawalton1643]

It might be from pain medication or a side effect from a medication. 🤷

[@audreymaqks]

They should be released. They have been punished enough in their life

[@jmk576]

What are you smoking?

[@tbone239x]

My uncle was 25 when he served 30 years in NY on a murder charge. He did his time, got out and moved to Florida. Got a store management position at Walmart and married a doctor. He is the happiest human I know. 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️

[@lluis4994]

They deserve to be free!

[@robinclark2578]

This is just one bump in the road. You have years left to live. There’s time. Count your blessings and go one day at a time.

[@megfrank8372]

No

[@Moonfire864]

Happy Birthday! sorry you’re going through it right now, hope you get some good rest

[@MrsSweetpeach]

I believe they should be released.

[@Mmistyharber]

Yes. This.

[@alexg1668]

Agreed

[@Mindy56743]

This is a case like Gypsy abuse is definitely a factor to put to the case I personally believe they should be out myself.

[@BrianKnect]

I normally would say no, you do the crime, you do the time. But, i do believe they were abused, so let them out, but give them a long parole. They've suffered enough.

[@lindarose8668]

I think they deserve a chance. I could be wrong.
