They have suffered enough. They have paid a big enough price.

They have served long enough. They should be freed. The judge should have allowed the sexual abuse to be admitted as evidence. the judge said a man could not rape a man which is no longer questioned in today's society. Everyone knows it can happen and does. The boys were brainwashed and afraid from an early age. they have suffered enough. The confession should never have been admitted from the doctor as he was a criminal and sexual pervert himself.

Lyle and Erik are victims sitting in a jail cell. Their parents got what they deserved. Lyle and Erik shouldn't have gotten life without parole and it's been 20 years, they should've been out for good behavior living their lives. There should be a law that victims who kill their abusers don't get punished

I believe their truth about their parents. I too was abused by a family member and never spoke of it. I knew my abuser was a sick human and GOD will punish him.

Its high time that these two need to be out of prison. What happened was a tragedy but they have done their time.

Erik and Lyle had an unfair trial and should be released its disgusting that they give them no parole and shouldn't die in prison for protecting each other!

The Menendez brothers should now go free, they were grossly abused. For them to spend one more day in prison is cruel and unusual punishment. If it had happened anywhere else, they would have never been convicted. They are the victims!

The menendez brothers lived an unfair, hell of a life before they were imprisoned and if people only looked close enough, they would realize that they truly were sexually and physically abused by their parents. It is unacceptable that they continue to live in he'll even after those monsters are dead. It was NOT right for them to murder their own parents, but it was and so NOT right for the parents to figuratively murder their childhoods. The sentencing of life for the brothers is just not understandable. And even if they do receive life sentence, the brothers should at least have parole, or at least be in the same prison. They were good people that made one big bad mistake. They repented, but the murder cannot be undone. They do not deserve to be punished, or even separated, for fearing their cruel parents. If not free them, at least let these brothers be together! Let them at least get that much peace in their lives since they never got any before!

Menendez Brothers were victims of parental pedophilia. Defense should have included "self-defense".

With the TV movie, the best time to ask for the brothers to be freed is now. Please share this petition on social media. I was married to a man with narcissistic personality disorder who subjected me and my children to mental and physical abuse. It is easy to say the boys were full grown and should have just left the home but when you are living under this kind of abuse, you never believe you can escape. It is inconceivable. That's why they thought they had no choice. They've been punished their whole lives. they're no threat to the public. Set them free.

As a child of incest rape, I think I would kill my abuser also if I had the opportunity and it's been over 35 years.

I was also abused and no one believed me, even though I told my mother when I was 18. Lots of people thought I was spoiled even though they made me work 16 hour days. People hide a lot. Give them another trial.

These kids were sexually and mentally abused. The parents may have threatened them because the parents had a lot to lose.

The judge was too harsh on them. Not only they were abused and suffered pain but they were also young (not emotionally stable yet). Plus these two brothers were together for each other through difficult times and it is very hard for them to be separated from each others. They are already facing guilt for what they did.

This is not okay. These men are victims of abuse and torture to throw them in jail in the first place just perpetuated rape culture and makes it once again seem Like it is the victims fault for the abuse.

These men are good people at heart and soul. They deserve better and they deserve to be freed from their torture.
