I hate when abuse victims are asked “Why didn’t you just leave?” Years of psychological abuse, fear and grooming changes the way you think and can make it impossible to flee
Couldn't agree more. And judges always ask 'well why didn't didn't just reach out for help? If I were you I would've done so, not kill my molester" um how dare you tell a victim what you wouldve done in that situation? And don't you think they tried that already? Erik and Lyle's cousins literally took the stand and said they spoke up about their abuse as kids and one of em even saw Jose take a shower with Erik when Erik was 8 years young. Those boys did reach out but the mom allowed it cause when one of Lyle and Erik's friends tried to warn the mother she said she didn't believe it and turned the other cheek.
Thé interviewer was saying that those cases which are settled involve families whose contest is degrading (very poor living conditions, use of drugs, lack primary needs meet like food, water etc). In the Melendez case, they were living in luxury. Of course it doesn’t justify the abuse. The interviewer was very clumsy, don’t think twice when phrasing it. He just pointed “why didn’t you live”?
@@SueEllenWilsonso, you don’t believe they were molester or abused? Not saying what they did was justified, but I don’t know what I would do if I grew up being abused in such vile ways.
What has the world come to? How do you justify killing your parents? People are abused everyday. Can we just go around killing people due to abuse. Let's all just be vigilante's. They killed their parents. Amazing what hindsight has done to these 2 criminals.
@@hanjoocho8641 yes u can justify it. They were mentally tested and had the mental capacity of an 8 and 10 year old at 18 and 21. They couldnt even fathom the thought of leaving. all they knew was their home and they knew it wasnt normal. they tried to tell their other family but no one would listen. The only way they felt they could get out was getting rid of their parents. honestly they have paid their price and it was justified. it is something that no human will be able to understand until they are put into that position. im sure if they were women you would feel differently
Dear Lyle we believe you , only they knew his evil dad their brain didn’t develop normally due to the abuse that they endured in their childhood they are truly survivors . JUSTICE for them
No…”we” don’t. He’s a liar. Instead of leaving their parents’ house (they were both adults), these parasites killed their sleeping parents so they could have the millions. They went on a big spending spree and partied. Lyle is a liar. Erik is a liar. They wanted moolah! 😅 and they will rot in prison.
Im so tired of these old reporters that keep questioning them on this. What else can they say for people to understand? People have received far less punishment for worse crimes.
I recommend people watch the first full trial on court tv to get a better understanding of the specifics on how these brothers were raised. It explains a lot. With the kind of upbringing they had & the level of abuse that was still going on, I can totally see how they would be in fear of their lives.
I agree. They were raised in a bubble. They weren’t allowed to really have a lot of friends and the parents wanted to control who they knew and talked to. Their reality is different then the normal Person. They thought their dad was powerful.
@@kevinsheppard4242doesn't give the parents the right to treat them the way they did. I don't believe 2 rights make a wrong but. If I were them I'd rather be dead than suffer that abuse. They obviously saw no other way out
@@clairslatter6503 they may not have seen any other way out, that doesn’t excuse what they did. They deserve punishment for what they did, more relevant argument is if 34 years in prison is too little, too much or about right.
I don't fully understand the in's and out's of how trauma manifests so I will reserve my comments on how they should have responded. I do at least understand that trauma and PTSD doesn't always allow one to act and operate of sound mind. With that said, I do believe that they were abused 110%.
you are very wise and mature to acknowledge that you don't understand the ins and outs of trauma, and therefore you cannot make an informed conclusion about this. I wish more people would do the same.
@@hanjoocho8641nobody said they had the ‘right’, that’s why they should be serving time. just less than they have. the murder of jose and kitty menendez was not out of spite or revenge for the abuse they endured, but the abuse they endured gave them the impression they were going to die in the moment that they took fire. therefore it was not a matter of ‘rights.’ whether they were going to die or not is debatable, but the abuse and fear instilled into them from when they were impressionable children gave them the idea they were, which is why their sentence should have been ruled manslaughter.
Who decides that the abuse wasn't so bad ? It's abuse... and abuse is BAD. Though that doesn't justify murder, there is nothing as "not so bad" about any abuse.
At the age of 21 and 20 years old you are very easily deceived !! Hosea and Kitty I honestly believe we’re tired of them mooching off of them so plain and clear they murdered them!!! And then they found a sexual abuse card to play with!! Eric had said at an interview with the police that that sexual abuse story was made up study the case!!
Any sexual abuse little of any kind can mess with someone mentally. So for someone to say the abuse wasn't that bad. You're not in that person's head. It didn't happen to you. The littlest thing could be the worst thing to a person. Some people are strong. Some people are not.
If their trial was today they wouldn’t have been convicted of first degree murder. We understand abuse better now and how it’s pretty much impossible for victims to tell. They have served over thirty years they deserve to be free for what remains of their lives.
@@Angora573 I agree. In Western Australia there was a serial killer Bradley Robert edwards….he killed in the 1990s and the search for him went on for about 20 years. He was caught. When it was time for his trial, they didn’t have a jury, the case was examined by highly qualified lawyers. They convicted and sentenced him. The reason they didn’t have a trial by jury was because the case was so public and well known…people were already decided he was guilty without seeing evidence (he was proven guilty too) . I hope the menendez brothers have their case reopened and re-examined by the same type of board of lawyers. People who will examine ALL the evidence and seek clarification on things so they can finally get the justice they deserve and freedom from the last 50? years if hell - either being abused or being in jail because you stopped the abuse.
It’s so frustrating the brothers have to keep repeating the truth over and over when they’ve never changed their “story” and evidence has only continued to mount in their favor but people still believe the first of the dozen bullshit stories the prosecution threw at the wall.
I'm so glad him and his brother is in the same prison. Imagine everything that they have gone through. And now they both are alone because they separated them in 1996. So I'm glad that they are reunited.❤❤❤❤
You are an Idiot than. This is proof how this generation is so backwards. These guys lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and then asked so many people to live for them and here we go now people believe them.
They didnt work and relied on their parents home and money. They were young victims and maybe it was just hard to leave...to go where. And with their dad having so much power who would helped them and life would been worse.
Sexually abused children don't say anything for years or never . I mentioned it once to my father and was shut down and said I was too young to remember
Part of me believes them, i didnt have the best childhood but was never sexually abused. I have however been in an abusive relationship, can you easily go to the police? No. I had 2 young children and it took me 2 years to escape him, if he beat me he would do school runs etc. With me so i couldnt go to the police, once brusises etc. Were healed... no evidence. When i left him he ran off with my 2 kids for 3 months, I ended up with ptsd and needing therapy. Where abuse is concerned (physical, emotional, mental... etc.) Its not easy and simply going to the police isnt always easy especially when you have a rich dad who can write it all.off with money. Maybe they thought murder was their only option....
What a joke, he even said he should not have gone to court and he read up about abuse victims, he said more than 300 cases. This proof also that it was just a strategy not to serve time xxx
These two brothers deserve to be free now. They’re not a danger to society so it’s downright disgusting & unfair. What is going to change keeping them in there. They’ve already done over 25 years. If they lived in Canada where I’m from they would’ve been out now even if they had no parole they’d probably out by now. Sad !
Hypothetically speaking if I wanted to help someone like that, asking them all the questions the prosecutors did and giving them plenty of uncontested time to state their case is not the worst way. I would hazard to guess the viewers would feel a lot more sympathy after watching this style than if he came across as purely empathetic.
In a psychological way I can understand “why” and the final blow to the mother. What he was shooting was not the “Parents” but the “Monsters” that they grew up that took their “innocence and humanity.” I think that having them was going to keep them the same “without liberty” because even if they would have gone to the police the parents would have accused them and put their reputation downhill in the circle they belong. I believe that if they would have not done it, the”father” would had kill them .! and the father would had gotten away because he would had twist the story and made them seem as the threat. And the mother would had supported the father. So either way it was the parents or “them”. A sad ending for them after having experienced inhuman things.
also, she was still alive. even after all the shots, she was still trying to crawl around the coffee table-maybe they were trying to do her a kindness by not let her suffer more.
They’ve served Enough Time!!!! They should be Set Free!!! It was Never premeditated 1st degree murder…it was Manslaughter at Best!! They were Horribly Abused!!!!!!
He's basically saying just because they was rich and they had money. The trial went on and on and on, but if they was poor people and the same thing happened and they committed the same crime. It wouldn't took as long and he's right.
I love how this 'very honest' journalist is implying that a psychopathic father that had all the money in the world would not be able to get rid off them with just one phone call a minute after they would leave the family. The level of delusion is out of this world.
No-one would make up these detailed, horrible stories of abuse. And no-one can imagine what you'd do after the years of grooming and psychological manipulation. These men should go free.
You need to study some true crime documentaries more - plenty of examples over time whereby prisoners have made horrific claims of abuse, only to admit years later it=was all made up. Not saying it’s the case here, but you’re completely naive if you think it doesn’t happen.
Let's be honest, the probability that a parent will raise a psychopath without doing anything of their own is extremely low. It's extremely unlikely that two children will easily become psychopaths. It certainly had nothing to do with the fact that they were too "spoiled", not raised enough or not beaten enough. Children's actions always reflect the behavior and mechanisms they learned from their parents. I don't believe that two loving and trusting parents were murdered here. Nevertheless, given the personality of the two perpetrators, their behavior and the extent of the crime, we are dealing with exceptionally disturbed people who, if released, should undergo sustained and serious therapy. Unfortunately, the American law and penal system is based on a doctrine that prevents perpetrators from being given adequate psychological treatment at all.
There are however some very famous serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, Richard Storlett and Paul Bernardo. These killers seem to be the nature side of the equation. Each one of these killers recall having a very loving and normal childhood. According to Ted Bundy, he had an “uneventful childhood”.
Lyle and not least importantly Erik, we believe you. I’m so sorry it’s taken this long for the TRUTH to come out and I don’t blame you for shooting ur spineless mom. Yes she could have taken the abuse but the moment he started with her boys especially to that disgusting vile degree she should have went straight to the Dr!!!! The could have easily examined him and seen the damage to his poor little bottom. Ugh makes my stomach turn. Where I’m from there’s more chances of a girl being molested than not and what absolutely hurts them the most is their moms not doing anything. I’m sure they were in sheer rage while shooting her and understandably so.
I really don't understand these interviewers. They really don't understand what rage will do to somebody. He's talking about how they fired the gun a second time. They were in a rage! People explode and it can happen when you've been abused for so long it doesn't mean what they did was okaybut the confusion of the interviewer is just ridiculous. They have no ability to understand trauma🤦
HISPANIC PARENTS WILL HURT YOU!!!! IN ANY WAY ❤❤ TRAUMA YES FROM THE ABUSE LASTING FROM CHILD HOOD THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH AND I HOPE THEY GET OUT SOON ❤
Wow how horrible people who have been rape by stranger get to leave their bad situation but these boys had to live there day in day out so much trauma . Unbelievable how could he say what they went through did not cause what they did.
I don’t believe they should be immediately released, but given what we know now about abuse compared to the understanding we have of it now a retrial would probably be the right thing to do for everyone
“You really thought that would happen?” This journalist is clueless to the amount of fear abusers inflict on their targets. He needs to get educated before doing interviews.
I believe they were abused but I don’t think it was to the extent of what they are claiming, I also don’t think it makes it ok to shoot your parents in the face with a shot gun, at the times of the murders they could of made a pact to leave home not kill
I don't like the interviewer. I believe them. The parents deserve it. U don't do that to your kids. That's how bad it was that they did that. 35 years free them
The sad thing is, TODAY the word “abuse” is used to describe everything, including a simple punishment of having electronics taken away. Back then, abuse of this magnitude wasn’t talked about at all. Erik and Lyle endured the worst and paid the price Kitty and Jose should have paid!
No body understand this type of abuse unless it’s happened to you Let them out Our love and kindness of our parents means a lot to every child existence it’s their core of their being when that trust is gone god help us
I just finished watching the show "Monster" on Netflix, and i believe that Lyle and Erick may have experienced sexual abuse. They described their fear and anxiety when their father would knock on the door and ask for sexual intercourse with Erick. It's truly heartbreaking to think about a child having to endure such fear and abuse for their entire life. It's puzzling why the jurors didn't believe them, as it's unlikely they would come up with such detailed stories if they hadn't actually experienced something like that. It's really tragic that they are still behind bars. 😢😢😢
Why does the interviewer find it hard to believe that if Lyle and Erik had simply driven away from home to somewhere unknown rather than having killed their parents that their extemely controlling, manipulative, "powerful", "influential", physically and sexually abusive father would not have, somehow, someway, found where his two sons had gone to and, if finding them, would not have killed his two sons right there. The father sexually abused and repeatedly raped his own young sons, and that kind of perverted activity absolutely destroys one's ability to love in a natural way! The Holy Bible says that "Adultery (any wrongful sexual activity) and strong drink (alcohol, illicit drugs, etc.) both take away the natural affections. Both parents were corrupted as parents. The father because of his abusive actions, and the mother for letting it happen, and doing a bit herself.
Yes i do believe him, they had everything they wanted and yes i get it i know they were spending money after they did it but i think they were relieved they didnt have to deal with those monsters
exactly!! if they were abused why didnt they tell the police why they killed their paresnts doesnt excuse what they did as God says to HONOR YOUR PARENTS but i pray both brothers will recieve Jesus as their Lord and Savior. if they died without Jesus hell awaits them and God wishes no one to perish!! God ways are not our ways nor does He think like us... get it right people!!
@@victoriaetery9281 I KNOW I WAS ABUSED SEXUALL AND PHYSICALLY GIRL DO I KNOW THAT DOESNT MAKE IT AN EXCUSE TO MURDER YOUR PARENTS!! THEY WERE OF AGE TO WALK OUT AND NEVER GO BACK!!
That's just like when you lose a loved one over death. Someone comes to you and say well, it's been 3 years. You should be over that by now, really wow.
He's still not taking responsibility for being so cruel. Those boys were unable to retain (learn) anything. They were taught to be rough. They never fought back. Most people push harder to do better when their parents or teachers challenge them. I'm sorry, but I do not pity them. What is considered impolite in our culture anymore ? It is considered very rude to push ahead in a line (we learned that in kindergarten). Don't normalize shooting anyone, murdering.
My God. I am so angry at the parents what the hell kind of parent does this to innocents? The spawn of Satan is alive and well! I so get why and how this could have happened. I am a survivor too sometimes barely a survivor but I m still here. I love Lyle and Eric ! !
I believe them too. And anyone who tries to diminish what they went through is someone with a sick, twisted mind...possibly someone who is inappropriately attracted to children themselves.
The problem is that people are ignorant to Jose's personality style and his personality style in the context of being threatened by Lyle to be exposed. That threat was the biggest mistake made, and I agree that no one could have helped them. I married and divorced a sadistic personality, and you do not want to try to put them in a corner because they will put every last breath into destroying you.
I agree that abuse is a sanitized word. It's rape, sodomy, and death in itself, how can anyone be surprised when a victim would kill?! the action is just unspeakable and evil! if it was proven how in the world are they still in prison?
This interviewer is abhorrent and certainly not interested in the truth. Anyone who has suffered at the hands of an abuser understands trauma bonding, gaslighting, coercive control, hyper vigilance etc… on top of not being believed, which is traumatizing in and of itself.

I love how this 'very honest' journalist is implying that a psychopathic father that had all the money in the world would not be able to get rid off them with just one phone call a minute after they would leave the family. The level of delusion is out of this world.
I couldn’t imagine having to relive the trauma they experienced over and over and over again. Having to constantly explain it even 20 some years later
This is why we don’t report. Cause ppl have more sympathy for perpetrators than the victims.
Set them free
No-one would make up these detailed, horrible stories of abuse. And no-one can imagine what you'd do after the years of grooming and psychological manipulation. These men should go free.
You need to study some true crime documentaries more - plenty of examples over time whereby prisoners have made horrific claims of abuse, only to admit years later it=was all made up. Not saying it’s the case here, but you’re completely naive if you think it doesn’t happen.
I WONDER WHY ERIC DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ❤
Let's be honest, the probability that a parent will raise a psychopath without doing anything of their own is extremely low. It's extremely unlikely that two children will easily become psychopaths. It certainly had nothing to do with the fact that they were too "spoiled", not raised enough or not beaten enough.
Children's actions always reflect the behavior and mechanisms they learned from their parents.
I don't believe that two loving and trusting parents were murdered here.
Nevertheless, given the personality of the two perpetrators, their behavior and the extent of the crime, we are dealing with exceptionally disturbed people who, if released, should undergo sustained and serious therapy.
Unfortunately, the American law and penal system is based on a doctrine that prevents perpetrators from being given adequate psychological treatment at all.
There are lots of serial killers that’ had great up bringings … just saying
@@natashia5338 Just tell me that you did not got the point. And furthermore I have serious doubts about the „great upbringings“.
There are however some very famous serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, Richard Storlett and Paul Bernardo. These killers seem to be the nature side of the equation. Each one of these killers recall having a very loving and normal childhood. According to Ted Bundy, he had an “uneventful childhood”.
Matthew Perry's stepfather is interviewing. Bless him. Such a good interview
Free the Menendez Brothers NOW!!!!!!!
Lyle and not least importantly Erik, we believe you. I’m so sorry it’s taken this long for the TRUTH to come out and I don’t blame you for shooting ur spineless mom. Yes she could have taken the abuse but the moment he started with her boys especially to that disgusting vile degree she should have went straight to the Dr!!!! The could have easily examined him and seen the damage to his poor little bottom. Ugh makes my stomach turn. Where I’m from there’s more chances of a girl being molested than not and what absolutely hurts them the most is their moms not doing anything. I’m sure they were in sheer rage while shooting her and understandably so.
LYLE, We believe you.
I really don't understand these interviewers. They really don't understand what rage will do to somebody. He's talking about how they fired the gun a second time. They were in a rage! People explode and it can happen when you've been abused for so long it doesn't mean what they did was okaybut the confusion of the interviewer is just ridiculous. They have no ability to understand trauma🤦
What's scary is that as human beings we are all capable of murder and I think this was definitely a case of that button being pressed.
Let them out
Ive always been on the two brothers side. I remember when the trial was happening and hoping they would not go to jail
Erik and Lyle deserve to be FREE!!!
They’ve suffered enough 😥😢
HISPANIC PARENTS WILL HURT YOU!!!! IN ANY WAY ❤❤ TRAUMA YES FROM THE ABUSE LASTING FROM CHILD HOOD THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH AND I HOPE THEY GET OUT SOON ❤
The person interviewing is gross. He needs to be fired
how so?
“You could have left’” what an idiot
Soft
Nah Keith Morrison is a legend. I may not agree with his approach but if you know his work in journalism with other cases he’s a class act.
U are soft they killed there parents people just want to know the real reason why
I'm so sorry for these brothers!. Parents failed to take care of them, relatives failed as well and the state just did the same.
Keith Morrison is so unlikable. “Gettin to be a long time” what a heartless response to not seeing his brother.
Wow how horrible people who have been rape by stranger get to leave their bad situation but these boys had to live there day in day out so much trauma . Unbelievable how could he say what they went through did not cause what they did.
They didn’t go through anything except extreme privelage.
@@stephendre2902
Wow! so the letter and the menudo guy stating he was SA by this monster Jose Menéndez . Does not mean anything to you .
#FreeTheMenendezBrothersNow!
I completely agree with Lyle!! And this is the first time I haven’t liked Keith Morrison ..
His voice sounds so kind
It is time to let them be free
I don’t believe they should be immediately released, but given what we know now about abuse compared to the understanding we have of it now a retrial would probably be the right thing to do for everyone
“You really thought that would happen?” This journalist is clueless to the amount of fear abusers inflict on their targets. He needs to get educated before doing interviews.
Omg please leave these boys. What is wrong with the American court house
Did that man really say the abuse wasn't so bad
I believe they were abused but I don’t think it was to the extent of what they are claiming, I also don’t think it makes it ok to shoot your parents in the face with a shot gun, at the times of the murders they could of made a pact to leave home not kill
They have suffered too much, they deserve to be free and finally live their lives the way they want.
I don't like the interviewer. I believe them. The parents deserve it. U don't do that to your kids. That's how bad it was that they did that. 35 years free them
I believe them also
I believe them. I think Erik and Lyle deserve to be free now.
FREE THESE SURVIVORS!!!! These babies have suffered enough!!!
Babies?? Ok.
Yeah murder at age 20 and 21 while wearing adult depends surely makes them babies!!!😂😂😂 Lady study the case 😮
The sad thing is, TODAY the word “abuse” is used to describe everything, including a simple punishment of having electronics taken away. Back then, abuse of this magnitude wasn’t talked about at all. Erik and Lyle endured the worst and paid the price Kitty and Jose should have paid!
No one says taking electronics away is abuse. Stop making things up 😂
Free Lyle and Erik!
Why
I hope they know that we believe them and want them free
No body understand this type of abuse unless it’s happened to you
Let them out
Our love and kindness of our parents means a lot to every child existence it’s their core of their being when that trust is gone god help us
I believe them.
I just finished watching the show "Monster" on Netflix, and i believe that Lyle and Erick may have experienced sexual abuse. They described their fear and anxiety when their father would knock on the door and ask for sexual intercourse with Erick. It's truly heartbreaking to think about a child having to endure such fear and abuse for their entire life. It's puzzling why the jurors didn't believe them, as it's unlikely they would come up with such detailed stories if they hadn't actually experienced something like that. It's really tragic that they are still behind bars. 😢😢😢
Why does the interviewer find it hard to believe that if Lyle and Erik had simply driven away from home to somewhere unknown rather than having killed their parents that their extemely controlling, manipulative, "powerful", "influential", physically and sexually abusive father would not have, somehow, someway, found where his two sons had gone to and, if finding them, would not have killed his two sons right there. The father sexually abused and repeatedly raped his own young sons, and that kind of perverted activity absolutely destroys one's ability to love in a natural way!
The Holy Bible says that "Adultery (any wrongful sexual activity) and strong drink (alcohol, illicit drugs, etc.) both take away the natural affections.
Both parents were corrupted as parents.
The father because of his abusive actions, and the mother for letting it happen, and doing a bit herself.
Yes i do believe him, they had everything they wanted and yes i get it i know they were spending money after they did it but i think they were relieved they didnt have to deal with those monsters
I believe them!
Free these Men. They did there time, it's time to let them out!!!
The parents can’t defend themselves these brothers can say whatever they want
exactly!! if they were abused why didnt they tell the police why they killed their paresnts doesnt excuse what they did as God says to HONOR YOUR PARENTS but i pray both brothers will recieve Jesus as their Lord and Savior. if they died without Jesus hell awaits them and God wishes no one to perish!! God ways are not our ways nor does He think like us... get it right people!!
Exactly 👍🏻
You know very little about the psychology and behavior of victims of abuse
@@victoriaetery9281 I KNOW I WAS ABUSED SEXUALL AND PHYSICALLY GIRL DO I KNOW THAT DOESNT MAKE IT AN EXCUSE TO MURDER YOUR PARENTS!! THEY WERE OF AGE TO WALK OUT AND NEVER GO BACK!!
you clearly have not experienced sexual, emotional, or physical abuse. i hope you heal one day and learn a valuable thing called empathy
That's just like when you lose a loved one over death. Someone comes to you and say well, it's been 3 years. You should be over that by now, really wow.
He's still not taking responsibility for being so cruel. Those boys were unable to retain (learn) anything. They were taught to be rough.
They never fought back. Most people push harder to do better when their parents or teachers challenge them.
I'm sorry, but I do not pity them.
What is considered impolite in our culture anymore ? It is considered very rude to push ahead in a line (we learned that in kindergarten).
Don't normalize shooting anyone, murdering.
Keith is a dinosaur in his way of thinking
My God. I am so angry at the parents what the hell kind of parent does this to innocents?
The spawn of Satan is alive and well! I so get why and how this could have happened. I am a survivor too sometimes barely a survivor but I m still here.
I love Lyle and Eric ! !
Why aren't they in prison together!??
I believe them too. And anyone who tries to diminish what they went through is someone with a sick, twisted mind...possibly someone who is inappropriately attracted to children themselves.
Free menendez!!
They need to be freed !
The problem is that people are ignorant to Jose's personality style and his personality style in the context of being threatened by Lyle to be exposed. That threat was the biggest mistake made, and I agree that no one could have helped them. I married and divorced a sadistic personality, and you do not want to try to put them in a corner because they will put every last breath into destroying you.
I believe they should both b free…. The abuse they endured throughout their childhood was punishment enough. 🙏🙏🙏
I agree that abuse is a sanitized word. It's rape, sodomy, and death in itself, how can anyone be surprised when a victim would kill?! the action is just unspeakable and evil! if it was proven how in the world are they still in prison?
Sou do Brasil e torço pela liberdade dos imãos.
They made their own bed tryina create monsters but their own sons who turned on them was their reward ! They were traumatized
I believe in both of them - they need to set free
With no evidence you believe both of them.
This journalist is so full of himself
just watching the movie, for me ,
i believe them both eric n lyle
How can he smile like that after he just murdered his parents that is not healthy
His childhood wasn’t healthy. His parents robbed them of a childhood
This interviewer is abhorrent and certainly not interested in the truth. Anyone who has suffered at the hands of an abuser understands trauma bonding, gaslighting, coercive control, hyper vigilance etc… on top of not being believed, which is traumatizing in and of itself.
You’re right
He was in shock on that call. Duh n
Not as much as he shocked his parents when he burst into the room to kill them xxx
"It made it very easy to make the call" to 911
