These guys served time and should be released. They suffered abuse most of their lives; they don't deserve to spend life in prison.

I had obviously heard of the killing of their parents and had wondered if they might have suffered abuse and then after seeing the program Eric Mendez breaking his silence I was disgusted to hear the abuse and torture they were subjected to and how unfair their trial was I thank god for that small mercy of them being spared the death penalty but speaking as a person who was mentally and physically abused by my own father and knowing that it took me forcing a knife into my own fathers throat enough to put him of the idea of continuing his abuse and running for my life at the age of 11 choosing to live on the streets rather than with the monster that was my father I luckily did not do a lot of damage to him although in truth I had wanted to I know firsthand how abuse effects you emotionally and mentally along with physically and I can fully understand why and how they reacted and I think that you have tortured and ridiculed them for far to long if this was a girl being abused by their father you would have no problem in showing compassion towards them yet why is it so difficult to understand when a male receives the same abuse I was 38 years old before I could even talk to another person about what had happened to me because of the shame I felt free them it is a violation of anyone’s rights to be subjected to the travesty they have been subjected to

They have served their time. They should not have gotten life w/out parole.

I'm all for freeing #TheMenedezBrothers! I do not believe that any of us have the right to pass judgment on someone who kills their victimizer. Their plea was imperfect self defense which is a response that should almost be expected of someone suffering from PTSD or CPTSD from a lifetime of abuse but the trial went in favor of societal ignorance and imperfect perspective.

Erik and Lyle deserve to be free because they endured such awful abuse from their parents and they endured such awful injustice during their 2nd trial. I know Erik and Lyle are good people. The crime they committed does not define who they are. They have served enough time. It’s time they live the life they deserve!!!!

Nobody knew the true story back then. Now we are hearing it for real. Their father was a terrible human being who ruined not only the lives of his children, but also his wife and ultimately himself. The boys are not to blame. Only the fathers hideous actions.

No child should ever have to endure this hate especially from the people who are supposed to love and protect you.

Try being molested, raped, day in and day out by someone who supposedly loves you while your so called mother watches. That night firing into the darkness. Killing the monsters who planned to kill you in a boat... I believe those boys, now men.. have served their time ans deserve to be set free!

The trial should have been appealed. They were sexually abused their entire lives up until they were incarcerated. They were never given a chance.

I would love to see them free!!! It's been long enough they have more than paid for their crime. Their dad was a monster and their trial unfair.
