These brothers were victims. The abuse they went through was horrible. They never talked so highly about money or wealth. All they wanted was to be loved. Erik’s sexual abuse was taken way too lightly. If he were a female, these men would not be in jail. 12 years he went through this. 6 years he thought it was normal. He only continued to do what his dad wanted him to do because he wanted time to hangout with his father. That’s all. But he couldn’t get away. Lyle was also so poorly treated. The verbal and physical abuse he went through was terrible. This case is one of the most terrifying and heartbreaking I have ever heard of. They were defending themselves because of the death threats they were given by their parents.

This is injustice! Why is it that us women have the options to defend ourselves in these cases but not men? True equality, true feminism, is protecting these men TOO! So many similar cases have occurred, and yes mostly to women. We as a society, view women as these weak fragile things, and when terrible things that normally happen to women, happen to men, they are ridiculed and treated unfairly. Like they're supposed to be these strong, empty of emotions robot. It's ridiculous the roles and BS we attach to people based on their reproductive organs.

Let them be free, they have payed the price. They are victims and they deserve justice in now being able to finally live somewhat of a normal life all these years later. The justice system and many others failed them.

With all that has come out about the pedophiles in Hollywood. These boys acted in self defense, their father was one of them. The mom did nothing to help them. The boys deserve to finally have a life and the opportunity to find love.

Absolutely disgusting that these two have even served time! They should be out and should be compensated for unfair trial and corrupt judge.

These men are victims of a narcessestic father and a very psychological disturb mother. They never should have been in jail but should have been offered help as abused children.

The LA District attorney’s office failed miserably with the OJ Simpson case 2 years prior and wanted to restore credibility with first degree murder convictions. They even sought the death penalty which demonstrated political motivations vs good common sense and true justice. The Menendez Brothers deserved punishment for their horrible decision even though it was driven by years of abuse. A lesser sentence than life without parole would have been appropriate. The LA District Attorney’s office and the State of California can still restore credibility by doing the right thing.
