Regarding the Menendez case. I have not heard that both brothers were living outside of the parents' home. I will research this. It's important because Erik was specifically told by José that he would not allow him to live in the dorm at college, and this was one of the two reasons that Erik was so distraught during the time leading up to the murders. I believe this conversation with José helped push him to believe he would never get away from his abusive parents.

In regards to the Menendez brothers case, after thirty five years, and the advancement of us in society recognizing just how much sa effects the psyche of a human being. I think a resentencing to timed served will be the outcome. It’s high time that the we stop punishing people to the fullest extent and look at what type of rehabilitation actually looks like case by case, and if they need to be locked away for life.

With Murdaugh, the integrity question was with the clerk. This time it’s with the judge, DA’s office, and MSP. The judge controls the court. Morrissey demanded she do everything to get KR convicted, because normally Bev is defendant’s rights judge and goes overboard to make sure the defendant’s rights are protected. She didn’t do that with KR. If they have a hearing, Bev isn’t ordering it. And honestly, I think they should do what was done with Murdaugh and have another judge come in who is a retired appellate judge (or a judge if the law nerd’s choosing) and bring the jurors in one by one. If they say they acquitted her and didn’t fill out form because Bev told them not to until they came to a decision on everything, then the only fair thing is to dismiss those charges. I don’t think Bev or the DA’s office will dismiss them even no matter what the jurors say. Now, it would be grounds for judicial and prosecutorial misconduct.
The issue for me is, while lally can say all he wants that the defense knew mistrial was kn the table when they asked for that one instruction (i forget the name), the nudge absolutely should *still* have given the defense a chance to say "hey, we would like to poll the jury" or even put on the record that they hadnt seen the last note in advance like they had the others.

I've followed Karen Read from the beginning. Since then I've watched YSL trial extensively. Atlanta is SO BAD makes Mass. look fine. YSL is so out of control I feel like US AG office needs to investigate. 😢
I believe the Menendez brother should be free by now. It is heartbreaking what happened to them and I truly do believe they have regretted their actions and have rehabilitated while in prison. They deserve second chance especially considering the life they had before the murders. Poor guy never had peace growing up. Free the Menendez brothers
I don’t understand this way of thinking. Obliterating people excessively to the point of not even looking human is not justifiable in any way. It’s still labeled one of the most gruesome murders that has ever happened.
@@melindamercier6811 well it’s easy, they r-ped their kids. It’s not that difficult to understand and if you truly look into the case and educate yourself on the facts of the matter then you would understand that doing that to children is WRONG which should go without saying. In i feel no sympathy for those people. Abusing their kids and treating them like things emotionally and physically violating them and you expect me to believe that those two men deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars?? I’m sorry but no. Believe the victims until proven otherwise and they have proven over time with countless witnesses and proof that the abuse happened, people knew about it and didn’t believe them, they tried leaving and it didn’t work. I totally understand why they felt that they had no other choice. Long answer short is the parents were horrible people and the brothers did a bad thing, they’ve spent 3 decades behind bars. It’s time for them to go home.
@@melindamercier6811 only because they used shotguns which they did because those were the only kinds of guns they could buy without having to wait the two week waiting period for shotguns, which they didn’t want to wait because they felt an extreme amount of fear and pressure all of their lives but more specifically during that very week of the murders due to the events they described since being arrested. Of course I can’t speak for them but that is my understanding of their actions so I do think it’s more helpful to try to stay objective than to let yourself be affected by how a crime scene looks to you. Besides, I guarantee if you had hundreds of hours of footage of every time their father raped those kids and abused them over the years in all of the ways he did, you might not be so horrified about the damage the bullets made to their bodies. Therefore, it is unjustified to let yourself be affected by the gruesome look of the bodies because you can see them but not by the gruesome look of the rapes because you cannot see them. Bottom line is, it is emotionally biased to let yourself be affected by the image of one crime you can see just because you can’t view the crime that you cannot.
If the Menendez brothers get a new sentence and are released, will that not cause an avalanche of other cases from people who received a sentence decades ago that would be different today?
@@WildeMermaid They still killed their parents, not in self-defense. They planned and killed them. They were grown and could have left the home. Abuse does not excuse behavior. Yes, they might have gotten a lighter sentence now, but I am not signing off that they are rehabilitated.
Well, Im not sure about your question as this is just one case and has unique facts related to the M brothers. If any one individual that has been incarcerated has new evidence that may mitigate that individual’s sentence then they can get an attorney and appeal to the court for a new trial. That has always been an option for anyone convicted of a crime. The Mendez brothers case is only high lighted because its a high profile case. I don’t know how this case would signal release for anyone else. The legal option for requesting a new trial for any individual has always been there. Also, it remains seen if the Mendez brothers will be released . I don’t see how this could create an “ avalanche “ case reversals.. just trying to follow your logic….🧐🤔
@@HDnursepractitioner how many victims of sa are able to move and just move on, especially when it is done by a parent with another parent allowing it? You cant escape your own mind.
I was young in my teens! I remember the Menendez case well. My thoughts have not changed. I believed them then and I believe them now. I was appalled by the ridicule these boys went through by media and t.v. I do think they have served their time and are rehabilitated.
@@rondadoliveira1305 On 20/20, they showed some of the original trial. The ADA had an expert come in and say boys couldn’t be raped. It was physically impossible. Then she’s interviewed in the modern day and doesn’t even say “oh I was wrong about that.” It’s disgusting because they knew it could happen. In 1928, the state of California said a man molested as many as 20 boys before killing them. So they knew it was possible. I agree. I remember the SNL skits. And it was gross to make fun of them.

Even the new investigator will be corrupt. The problem is so deep that whoever is doing the hiring will only hire someone of the same “spirit” if you know what I mean.
When the brothers were first sentenced, I have to say this was one case where I think they were definitely treated differently as they were male. What a horrible situation. Here, we have the ' law' and ' justice'. -we will see how it turns out. It's just so sad the whole thing.
oh damn that hurt my neck when he said Menudo! What is it with not so great humans hurting kids. Argh People have been saying stuff about him from 1994 (that I can remember) and it's probably before that. Yep his lawyers said it with his whole body.
I never heard that they were both permitted to move out. I remember when this happened but had the impression that at least one was never allowed out unless he ran away and severed contact.
@@Maguire708Julie I think Erik said he tried to run away and his dad said if he tried again, he’d kill him. The family has said they witnessed Jose physically harming Kitty, Lyle and Erik and witnessed Kitty out and out act like she didn’t care what was happening to her children. I haven’t heard them say, “they didn’t deserve to die.” They have said Erik and Lyle deserve to be believed.
What can the prosecutorial office be thinking, slapping the faces of all Massachusetts jurors by saying it doesn't matter what decisions the jury came to about any of the counts in the Karen Read case, they're just going to try all the counts again no matter what? Do prosecutors really want all jurors in MA to feel like the DA & everyone arguing for the state have no respect whatsoever for jurors' time & opinions? Don't prosecutors worry that that will make them unable to effectively present any cases in MA, since no jurors in the state will have any reason to trust them? I DON'T GET IT. Future discussion in the DA's office: Yeah, we can't convict even mass murderers any more, because juries now know we don't care about them. But hey, at least we were able to retry Karen Read on all three counts! Proving that the DA's office will always do whatever the hell it wants is WAY more important than saving lives & administering justice by convicting murderers! Right? Right?
Question: Why did the judge set Diddys trial date so soon. Epstein and R Kelly were locked up for a few years before their cases went to trial. What’s different in this case?
@@francescawilliams8177 Frances,I don’t know if this applies to all, but federal cases aren’t allowed to be televised, state cases can I believe. Epstein and R Kelly weren’t televised and they were tried in federal court. Members of the media and public can come but no cameras inside. This is what I’ve read. I think Emily or other lawyers answer this better.
Gotta say, tried factor for a week so far. The food is either pretty good or not my style, so that's fine BUT it is so expensive to be paying weekly for, 90 bucks w the discount for 6 meals when I usually get groceries for 2 weeks for almost that is a bit much.. if there was a monthly option, that would be much better 💔 Love you EDB and ur content❤
I disagree with the "if they were the menendez sisters" comment. Women end up imprisoned all the time for killing their abusers. Plus, a lot of the opinions on them were shaped by their behavior after the murders.
There is currently a 24/7 live reality show called Fish Tank Live. The contestants are unaware that there are cameras surrounding the house. They believe that they are only being filmed when the “cameraman” is around. What potential legal issues could the producers run into? There have been times where contestants are changing clothes or are in vulnerable situations, and they are unaware that they are being filmed. It seems like this should be illegal even if they signed off on being filmed in a contract. I’d love to know your take on this situation.
The guardians of these kids PD ..SA’d should be charged as well .. and anyone who kept their mouth shut should be called out too. When hard core rappers don’t want to go back to your place .. somethings bad and not good way .. 😡
I remember the Menedez case in the day, what I remember is they did it due to being spoiled and greedy. However, been watching the latest on them due to the media and digging deeper into their story from start to today. I think they deserve a retrial. Obviously, they deserved a prison sentence but not life without patrol. The Diddy case is getting way out of control and the victims should be protected and media coverage should be shut down to protect all involved.
I love ur take on things. I can't bring myself to watch Sara Suitcase Boone. Truthfully addicted to YSL now. I wanted to comment on how GREAT ur app is!!!

RE Combs: Does he even know the names of the majority of his victims? Is he going to find it impossible to identify a victim simply from the description of what he did?
The letter is new evidence, they didn’t have that during each of the trials and that is why they wouldn’t allow the cousin’s testimony because there was any proof to back up his testimony.
i was abused by my parents. i didn't shoot the f out of them. back then my older cousin's boyfriend was working in forensics for the same agency that worked on menendez. he actually was working on oj at the time. he said that these "boys" were having a good sick time. that they would shoot a parent but just to wound and the parents were crawling on the floor towards them. i think this is all bs. they were so distraught they went and bought rolexes and went on vacations after? give me an fing break.
20:11 you said “they are asking to either have the case reduced, granted a retrial or have the case resentenced.” What do you mean by reduced? 21:22 there is what? What do you mean? Sounded like you were throwing shade there but I don’t understand the context. Explain? 37:02 That’s misinformation on your end. Everywhere I looked it was said Erik was still living at his parents house as well as being told by his father he was going to continue to live there while going to UCLA.
Fyi I pay monthly for TH-cam premium to avoid commercials. You not only have in-show commercials but they go sooooooo loooong. I can’t I just can’t. I know I can ff, But I’m often busy when I listen to and I resent the redundant, lengthy commercials that I’m paying not to hear.
Re the Menendez brothers, as someone who has survived family sexual assault, they were out of the house. No excuse for them. They are where they should be. I do not think they need a new sentence. They murdered two people for the money.
Thank you! I'm tired of all these people whining about abuse when these two greedy monsters were never abused. If anything, they were spoiled rotten, and killed out of entitlement.
Ms Emily would you please do a video on this “Federal injunction” against content creators currently happening as a result of the Sebastian Rogers case?!?!?!?!??
I think the verdict was correct for the Menendez brothers, but the sentence wasn't. They should have possibility of parole, especially due to the circumstances. I have no doubt at all in my mind that the father was an abuser, if you do, you are incredibly naive. I don't find it especially odd that family then and even now call them "the boys". My sister and I are in our 40s now and our dad and family friends have never stopped calling us "the girls"!
I don't understand how anyone could doubt that he was an abuser after the cp photos he took of the boys were aired live and uncensored during their trials
@@mandalynn1384 Yeah, he was part of a production company and was making CSAM. And at the same time, the ADA brings an “expert” to say “it’s impossible for boys to be raped.” But 5 years after the second trial, the grandson of a friend of the family (a pediatric surgeon) was sentenced to 50 years in Angola for CSA and CSAM of patients. So a rural parish in Louisiana understood CSA when LA County didn’t? Sure.
I’m sorry, but based on the evidence, I cannot for the life of me understand anyone could side with them and be saying that these men served their time given their vicious crimes.
If they are re-tried is there any chance that the jury could sentence them to death? I really hope not and I’m sure it wouldn’t happen but if there is a possibility would that be worth the risk?
What rehab do the Menendez brothers need, they were the victims that ended their abuse and were punished by the system. I guess prison rehabs sA survivors now.
I hope that they will keep Diddy's victims out of the spotlight. No names, no faces, no public witness questioning, no nothing. They have suffered enough. They do not need public scrutinity. Especially the celebrities who made a live for themselves after this and don't want everyone and their cousin to ask them questions about it wherever they go. Reporters are ruthless and social media just the same...

I believe the Menendez brother should be free by now. It is heartbreaking what happened to them and I truly do believe they have regretted their actions and have rehabilitated while in prison. They deserve second chance especially considering the life they had before the murders. Poor guy never had peace growing up. Free the Menendez brothers
I don’t understand this way of thinking. Obliterating people excessively to the point of not even looking human is not justifiable in any way. It’s still labeled one of the most gruesome murders that has ever happened.
@@melindamercier6811 well it’s easy, they r-ped their kids. It’s not that difficult to understand and if you truly look into the case and educate yourself on the facts of the matter then you would understand that doing that to children is WRONG which should go without saying. In i feel no sympathy for those people. Abusing their kids and treating them like things emotionally and physically violating them and you expect me to believe that those two men deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars?? I’m sorry but no. Believe the victims until proven otherwise and they have proven over time with countless witnesses and proof that the abuse happened, people knew about it and didn’t believe them, they tried leaving and it didn’t work. I totally understand why they felt that they had no other choice. Long answer short is the parents were horrible people and the brothers did a bad thing, they’ve spent 3 decades behind bars. It’s time for them to go home.
Nothing happened to them, they're liars.
@@wmdkitty You’re free to have an opinion. They should be free :)
@@melindamercier6811 only because they used shotguns which they did because those were the only kinds of guns they could buy without having to wait the two week waiting period for shotguns, which they didn’t want to wait because they felt an extreme amount of fear and pressure all of their lives but more specifically during that very week of the murders due to the events they described since being arrested. Of course I can’t speak for them but that is my understanding of their actions so I do think it’s more helpful to try to stay objective than to let yourself be affected by how a crime scene looks to you. Besides, I guarantee if you had hundreds of hours of footage of every time their father raped those kids and abused them over the years in all of the ways he did, you might not be so horrified about the damage the bullets made to their bodies. Therefore, it is unjustified to let yourself be affected by the gruesome look of the bodies because you can see them but not by the gruesome look of the rapes because you cannot see them. Bottom line is, it is emotionally biased to let yourself be affected by the image of one crime you can see just because you can’t view the crime that you cannot.
If the Menendez brothers get a new sentence and are released, will that not cause an avalanche of other cases from people who received a sentence decades ago that would be different today?
I believe it could, but would that be a bad thing. The Menendez brothers deserve to be heard, believed, & free... maybe others do too?
Not exactly. It depends on whether or not they have new evidence to show for their argument.
@@WildeMermaid They still killed their parents, not in self-defense. They planned and killed them. They were grown and could have left the home. Abuse does not excuse behavior. Yes, they might have gotten a lighter sentence now, but I am not signing off that they are rehabilitated.
Well, Im not sure about your question as this is just one case and has unique facts related to the M brothers. If any one individual that has been incarcerated has new evidence that may mitigate that individual’s sentence then they can get an attorney and appeal to the court for a new trial. That has always been an option for anyone convicted of a crime. The Mendez brothers case is only high lighted because its a high profile case. I don’t know how this case would signal release for anyone else. The legal option for requesting a new trial for any individual has always been there. Also, it remains seen if the Mendez brothers will be released . I don’t see how this could create an “ avalanche “ case reversals.. just trying to follow your logic….🧐🤔
@@HDnursepractitioner how many victims of sa are able to move and just move on, especially when it is done by a parent with another parent allowing it? You cant escape your own mind.
I was young in my teens! I remember the Menendez case well. My thoughts have not changed. I believed them then and I believe them now. I was appalled by the ridicule these boys went through by media and t.v. I do think they have served their time and are rehabilitated.
@@rondadoliveira1305 On 20/20, they showed some of the original trial. The ADA had an expert come in and say boys couldn’t be raped. It was physically impossible. Then she’s interviewed in the modern day and doesn’t even say “oh I was wrong about that.” It’s disgusting because they knew it could happen. In 1928, the state of California said a man molested as many as 20 boys before killing them. So they knew it was possible. I agree. I remember the SNL skits. And it was gross to make fun of them.

Even the new investigator will be corrupt. The problem is so deep that whoever is doing the hiring will only hire someone of the same “spirit” if you know what I mean.
My boyfriend ALWAYS has perfect timing, asking or telling me something when Emily explains some key thing then I have to rewind Grrr ❤
Hoping the Menendez brothers get released.
When the brothers were first sentenced, I have to say this was one case where I think they were definitely treated differently as they were male. What a horrible situation. Here, we have the ' law' and ' justice'. -we will see how it turns out. It's just so sad the whole thing.
Who else is sad after a verdict because you don’t get to spend the day with the law nerds during the live shows all day? 😅🤣🤦♀️
All of us. Hence why I am replay replay replay crew. 😝
Can the prosecutors censor the list of victims names? It sounds like handing a violent predator names is a horrible idea.
Good evening everyone from Perth Western Australia
Morning from saskatchewan. I was in the chat but lost it some how. Hope everyone enjoys the pod cast!
Cuff Diddy is Done‼️‼️
Thank you Emily for a good report!! ❤😊
Rehomed. My new fav word.
oh damn that hurt my neck when he said Menudo! What is it with not so great humans hurting kids. Argh
People have been saying stuff about him from 1994 (that I can remember) and it's probably before that. Yep his lawyers said it with his whole body.
@@AngB517 Jose managed Menudo and apparently rotated boys out when they got too old. Basically, he was the Cuban Diddy.
Perfect watch during trial break, while making dinner
😳😵💫💁 When the wolves are in charge of guarding the henhouse, there will always be internal affairs problems! 🙈🙈🙈
I remember this trial. I agree that time has changed and they would not have been sentenced likewise today with the circumstances. 35 years is enough
33:44 Well, just to be fair, if they weren’t the “Menendez” anything, we wouldn’t even be hearing about them.
I never heard that they were both permitted to move out. I remember when this happened but had the impression that at least one was never allowed out unless he ran away and severed contact.
@@Maguire708Julie I think Erik said he tried to run away and his dad said if he tried again, he’d kill him. The family has said they witnessed Jose physically harming Kitty, Lyle and Erik and witnessed Kitty out and out act like she didn’t care what was happening to her children. I haven’t heard them say, “they didn’t deserve to die.” They have said Erik and Lyle deserve to be believed.
If the defense doesn’t know who the accuser is how do they know he was not near them at the time of the incident?
What can the prosecutorial office be thinking, slapping the faces of all Massachusetts jurors by saying it doesn't matter what decisions the jury came to about any of the counts in the Karen Read case, they're just going to try all the counts again no matter what? Do prosecutors really want all jurors in MA to feel like the DA & everyone arguing for the state have no respect whatsoever for jurors' time & opinions? Don't prosecutors worry that that will make them unable to effectively present any cases in MA, since no jurors in the state will have any reason to trust them? I DON'T GET IT.
Future discussion in the DA's office: Yeah, we can't convict even mass murderers any more, because juries now know we don't care about them. But hey, at least we were able to retry Karen Read on all three counts! Proving that the DA's office will always do whatever the hell it wants is WAY more important than saving lives & administering justice by convicting murderers! Right? Right?
Shouldn't the security cost be Lally's fault? It went on and on for weeks.
Replay Crew ❤Give this guy a Claritin
He has always sounded like that. I think it is a plumbing issue.
I remember this case. I watched parts that were televised that I could catch when working.
Question: Why did the judge set Diddys trial date so soon. Epstein and R Kelly were locked up for a few years before their cases went to trial. What’s different in this case?
Same question?
Isn’t there a difference between them because Diddy is Federal and hence why it won’t be televised?
@@francescawilliams8177 Frances,I don’t know if this applies to all, but federal cases aren’t allowed to be televised, state cases can I believe. Epstein and R Kelly weren’t televised and they were tried in federal court. Members of the media and public can come but no cameras inside. This is what I’ve read. I think Emily or other lawyers answer this better.
Federal Case
Probably because wants to go to trial asap verses waiving speedy trial rights
Gotta say, tried factor for a week so far. The food is either pretty good or not my style, so that's fine BUT it is so expensive to be paying weekly for, 90 bucks w the discount for 6 meals when I usually get groceries for 2 weeks for almost that is a bit much.. if there was a monthly option, that would be much better 💔 Love you EDB and ur content❤
I disagree with the "if they were the menendez sisters" comment. Women end up imprisoned all the time for killing their abusers. Plus, a lot of the opinions on them were shaped by their behavior after the murders.
There is currently a 24/7 live reality show called Fish Tank Live. The contestants are unaware that there are cameras surrounding the house. They believe that they are only being filmed when the “cameraman” is around. What potential legal issues could the producers run into? There have been times where contestants are changing clothes or are in vulnerable situations, and they are unaware that they are being filmed. It seems like this should be illegal even if they signed off on being filmed in a contract. I’d love to know your take on this situation.
The guardians of these kids PD ..SA’d should be charged as well .. and anyone who kept their mouth shut should be called out too. When hard core rappers don’t want to go back to your place .. somethings bad and not good way .. 😡
I remember the Menedez case in the day, what I remember is they did it due to being spoiled and greedy. However, been watching the latest on them due to the media and digging deeper into their story from start to today. I think they deserve a retrial. Obviously, they deserved a prison sentence but not life without patrol.
The Diddy case is getting way out of control and the victims should be protected and media coverage should be shut down to protect all involved.
Morning all lovely peeps ❤
I love ur take on things. I can't bring myself to watch Sara Suitcase Boone. Truthfully addicted to YSL now. I wanted to comment on how GREAT ur app is!!!
The judge said that if they dont check anything it mean she is not guilty when the defense said there was no box for it
Oh what a EDB find. Will be heading home soon from my specialist appointment to have my wrist worked on. Excuse typing errors. But great find as I don’t want to try to watch Wednesday afternoon SB trial till I get home so I can safely yell at TV
Soooo interesting🍿🇺🇸🙋🏻♀️
RE Combs: Does he even know the names of the majority of his victims? Is he going to find it impossible to identify a victim simply from the description of what he did?
waking up with Emily? yes, please!
Hahaha can't watch in 1.5x any more, I've caught up to the premiere! 😅
Good morning Law Nerds
Thanks for the update
thanks Emily
So glad to be here !
Instead of Ted Daniel I heard “Teh Daniel.”
Is it not true that DA office is deciding re Menendez case by the end of this week>?
The judge has to decide the da office said resentence
The letter is new evidence, they didn’t have that during each of the trials and that is why they wouldn’t allow the cousin’s testimony because there was any proof to back up his testimony.
Good morning! 🇨🇦🍁
Good morning from Ventura County!
I think Donna has been manipulating her kids since forever
i was abused by my parents. i didn't shoot the f out of them. back then my older cousin's boyfriend was working in forensics for the same agency that worked on menendez. he actually was working on oj at the time. he said that these "boys" were having a good sick time. that they would shoot a parent but just to wound and the parents were crawling on the floor towards them. i think this is all bs. they were so distraught they went and bought rolexes and went on vacations after? give me an fing break.
Killers are supposed to Remain in PRISON!!
Morning y'all!
Morning all
20:11 you said “they are asking to either have the case reduced, granted a retrial or have the case resentenced.”
What do you mean by reduced?
21:22 there is what? What do you mean? Sounded like you were throwing shade there but I don’t understand the context. Explain?
37:02 That’s misinformation on your end. Everywhere I looked it was said Erik was still living at his parents house as well as being told by his father he was going to continue to live there while going to UCLA.
Fyi I pay monthly for TH-cam premium to avoid commercials. You not only have in-show commercials but they go sooooooo loooong. I can’t I just can’t. I know I can ff, But I’m often busy when I listen to and I resent the redundant, lengthy commercials that I’m paying not to hear.
Hey there. The podcast is sponsor supported. So the live streams may be a better fit if you don't want to zoom though our sponsor support.
Good morning fellow Law Nerds.
They will be released & celebrated millionaires in no time.
Yay live!! 🎉
Re the Menendez brothers, as someone who has survived family sexual assault, they were out of the house. No excuse for them. They are where they should be. I do not think they need a new sentence. They murdered two people for the money.
Thank you! I'm tired of all these people whining about abuse when these two greedy monsters were never abused. If anything, they were spoiled rotten, and killed out of entitlement.
Ms Emily would you please do a video on this “Federal injunction” against content creators currently happening as a result of the Sebastian Rogers case?!?!?!?!??
YES PLEASE
@TheEmilyDBaker
Such an injunction is a violation of the first amendment.
@@lp431 thank you!!! I wasn’t sure how to get her to see this.
Which one was Tully during the trial again?
I think the verdict was correct for the Menendez brothers, but the sentence wasn't. They should have possibility of parole, especially due to the circumstances. I have no doubt at all in my mind that the father was an abuser, if you do, you are incredibly naive. I don't find it especially odd that family then and even now call them "the boys". My sister and I are in our 40s now and our dad and family friends have never stopped calling us "the girls"!
I don't understand how anyone could doubt that he was an abuser after the cp photos he took of the boys were aired live and uncensored during their trials
@@mandalynn1384 Yeah, he was part of a production company and was making CSAM. And at the same time, the ADA brings an “expert” to say “it’s impossible for boys to be raped.” But 5 years after the second trial, the grandson of a friend of the family (a pediatric surgeon) was sentenced to 50 years in Angola for CSA and CSAM of patients. So a rural parish in Louisiana understood CSA when LA County didn’t? Sure.
IMO this has more to do with the Bederow letters than anything
He did more sketchy things
Can you do a segment on the Robert Roberson case out of Texas. Stay of execution granted. Shaken Baby case. Death Row.
Emily doesn’t generally cover cases with children involved. Sometimes she does a really broad overview of those types of cases, but it’s rare.
Morning!!
Hopefully you will get a Buzbee sponsor soon. I'm in Texas.
I’m sorry, but based on the evidence, I cannot for the life of me understand anyone could side with them and be saying that these men served their time given their vicious crimes.
If they are re-tried is there any chance that the jury could sentence them to death? I really hope not and I’m sure it wouldn’t happen but if there is a possibility would that be worth the risk?
Does anyone if the brothers are housed in same prison? Thanks
Yes they are currently but we’re apart for 20 years
@@Tammy_26Irwin - thanks for letting me know. When apart were they allowed to have contact (phone calls; letters;). Thanks
What rehab do the Menendez brothers need, they were the victims that ended their abuse and were punished by the system. I guess prison rehabs sA survivors now.
They aren't survivors, and were never victims.
I hope that they will keep Diddy's victims out of the spotlight. No names, no faces, no public witness questioning, no nothing.
They have suffered enough. They do not need public scrutinity. Especially the celebrities who made a live for themselves after this and don't want everyone and their cousin to ask them questions about it wherever they go. Reporters are ruthless and social media just the same...
Yup yep effing Diddy
Wow Massachusetts $258,000 for security alone at the court house. You must be very wealthy to throw a quarter of a million dollars for a trial! When will the people of MA say enough is enough?
So the Menendes bros have spent a great deal of time in jail. They committed murder due to their sexual abuse, Release them
this bs. i'm grossed out that everyone is sympathizing with murderers! lots of people are abused! they don't go murder their parents!
Beautiful crisp morning in New Jersey that will get hotter later today. Leaves are all changing and it's gorgeous to drive here. Even to the doctors it's gorgeous 🤣
Same here! I’m stuck at Monmouth hospital because my mom’s having major surgery. I think today is going to be are last warm day for a while!
There is a Peacock documentary about Menudo and Roy Rosselló. These rumors about the abuses to the Menudo band “boys” are not new.
Yes, but a single person out of that band coming forward and stating that Jose M. Sexually assaulting in the Mendez’ home is “ new”
@@molliwilson5639 And awfully convenient. As well as a lie.
I’m a law nerd apper lol
Is this live? Are the comments turned off? 🥴
