yes, that really made me feel so bad for the kid who had so much intense stress that he started to lose hair. It's actually very common among abuse victims. The level of fear, stress, disgust and terror that these two brothers went through, to get to the point of no return and doing the unthinkable. When you have their whole family repeating time and time again that they were good kids, that they've always been gentle and nice, and all of these family members witnessing weird and inaproppriate behavior from the parents - it's already so much indication that they were suffering all these years. If they were so calculating that they "murdered their parents for money" there would be many indications that they were actually cold hearted, so why did no family member ever say that...? It's almost like the entire system made sure to show through this case that kids who are being abused never ever have the courage to speak up because otherwise you'll be pubicly ridiculed, laughed at, called liar and put in prison anyway.

Well, anything forced will cause that. Just like vag*nal rape, there will be lacerations because of resistance on the part of the victim. Same in oral sx. His dad most likely forced himself on him/his mouth, controlling his head, etc.. which caused the son's wounds in the mouth.
These poor men had to sit in the courtroom and relive the trauma of their childhood up to adulthood in a nationally televised hearing with photos of their 6 and 8 year old bodies being shown for 11 weeks!!! To tell the story consistently and accurately for that long and for the prosecutor to say you probably imagined that or that is what you wanted to happen is infuriating to hear. I was 8 years old when the murders happened and a freshman at trial and the media portrayed them as preppy rich brats greedy for money. Now listening to the facts, I see these two men were hurting and as a mother now I feel compassion and empathy for them. And yes a preppy rich kid can have a horrible life behind closed doors at home. No social class or status are exempt from having pedophiles or rapists among them
@@S.Blonde But that isn't what happened. Their juries ended in a hung trial. Women voted manslaughter, men voted murder. At the time, people still did not believe men could be victims of s*xual abuse. People did not want to believe incest happened. The 2nd jury did NOT get to hear the full story because the judge through out their abuse testimonies/allegations (including 6 previous witness who were not allowed to testify at all!) the prosecution and the JUDGE said that because they were males and because they were children during the abuse that the battered women's syndrome law did not come into play so they could not use the abuse and imperfect defense to plead their case. They lost the ability to tell their story. The jury did NOT get to hear the story, the testimonies, the evidence. The 2nd jury was given 2 options. Guilty of murder or not guilty. Everyone knew the brothers did it because they said they did but they lost their ability to defend themselves in the 2nd trial. They should have had the option to defend themselves and be found guilty of manslaughter. Past jurors have even come out saying they did not know the whole story and had they heard it, they would not have voted yes to murder. Some past jurors have stayed in touch with the brothers.
Exactly. I was molested by my uncle at 12. The da said r u sure that u weren't dreaming? I said no he climbed over my cuz. His daughter and stuck his hand down my underwear and was touching my top part of my private. I kept asking God in my head bc I froze during the attack. I couldn't even scream. I asked God why r u letting him do this to me? Make it stop now. But it didn't stop for mins. Not seconds even. I took it to court. The da let him plead to harassment. Nothing more. Which is against the law. Bc it was molesting a minor. I hate this system. It's so lawless. Later, I was continued raped. I didn't try my abusers. Bc nothing happened in justice for me with my uncle. For those who don't know about abuse. If you're abused as a child. Good chance you'll be abused as an adult, too. Over and over again. Until something stops your abuse. I guess you have a victim energy about u. That every sicko says easy target. Abuse them. You're better not to be abused. Be scary in your affect.
With all the evidence in the world, they would still have been convicted of manslaughter; it’s illegal to kill people even if they abuse you, at least not when they are sleeping and unarmed.
@@imadickens3337exactly long as it's not 1's of his people he's good. I can't with all this coming out,all the different layers of the case....it seriously triggers me !!!! And yet these boys got thrown away n sent down 4 life.🤦🏻
It’s hard to believe there was ever a time where this amount of medical evidence could not have been recognized as abuse by medical personnel and reported to authorities. The ignorance and incompetence is astounding.
It was sickening and vile and disgusting the way the father raped and violated them. Horrible abuse. Should have been revealed in their trial. And wasn't their was corruption
@firehorse66elaine you'll have to go back to the doctors testimony from the first trial, but the damage was definitely of a sexual nature. He said so on the stand. The child not only had severe tissue damage to the palette of the roof of his mouth, but his uvula at the back of the throat (the little dangling thing) was nearly torn off. This damage was from something being repeatedly jammed into the childs mouth. He was, I think, 6 years old at the time
The real Menendes brothers have triggered spiritual awakenings in so many people. Many are deeply touched by their horrific true story of sexual abuse of the male child. Mission accomplished, earth angels, Eric and Lyle. Take refuge in the peace that comes with knowing that you have raised so much awareness on this topic- many innocent lives will be saved because of your tragic experience and the consequent global publicity your case is receiving.
How did the DOCTORS not do anything about this? They are MANDATED REPORTERS or did this not exist in the 70s and 80s? They knew and did NOTHING about it. Disgusting and irresponsible!
CPS got it's start around 1974. It was different than now. This family, in now way met the check list for abusive parents. Now CPS has swung to the point that are more like the Gesta-po . CPS needs to be fully revamped
That beast was boy band promoter. His sons were not the only ones he raped. But being very rich, allows you to get away with anything. I posted numerous times, every where I could about it, at the time I was a child psychologist.
@@S.Blonde It was because of the judge. They had hung juries for a reason in their 1st trials. The judge then tossed out their abuse allegations as defense. He said they were not protected by the battered women's syndrome law because that law protected women only. Not children and not men. He took away their ability to defend themselves in the 2nd combined trial. He also had 6 witnesses from the 1st trials kicked out from the 2nd trial. They were given the options of a guilty charge for murder or not guilty. The brothers had already admitted to what they did but no longer had the ability to defend themselves. The jury did not get to hear their defense present it's case for the abuse and the fear that let to the crime. The judge forced a guilty charge by taking away their defense. That was on the judge. The juries can not make a proper decision without the defense having the ability to defend themselves.
By now you should realise rape victims are never taken seriously, especially rape victims who fought against their rapist. If they were younger maybe things would have been different, but they're boys. SA on boys are never taken seriously unless the victims perish. People want the victim to never fight back
@@bluliitegypsy had a chance to run away, she chose to help her boyfriend instead of just leaving while her mother was asleep and never going back.

@@bluliiteBullshit dude. She manipulated a mentally disabled kid to off her mom using sex. And she was a whole ass adult who knew what she was doing and participating in the medical con. She deserved a longer sentence
Awful that the corrupt Judge didn't allow any of this sexual abuse _abuse committed by both Parents to both Brothers to be submitted as evidence in the second trial!
Headaches, hiatal hernia, teeth grinding, ulcers.... sounds like a middle aged smoker/drinker, not an elementary school kid. One of several big red flags flapping in the wind.
It’s clear to me now, the brother never had a chance, it doesn’t mattered the massive evidences, the experts corroborated the conduct, the testimonies, they were guilty from the beginning
I owe the brothers a HUGE aplogy . I was sure they were two spoiled bored brats who wanted to get rid of their parents . I am so very sorry 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Exactly. Because people didn't want to get involved in other people's business. People were afraid of the wealthy and powerful. They were failed over and over and over again. That includes by that sleaze bag therapist and that judge.
How do you not report this to the police??? Because no one took it serious , the parent are monsters who destroyed their lives . From therapist, doctors , family members , friends , everyone was so naive to abuse . It’s crazy!!! I believe if they themselves went to the police they won’t have believed them !!! They were messed up emotionally, anything was possible !!! I don’t believe the boys were best children either , don’t believe they were angels because they were rebellious but that’s what happens when you sexually abuse someone . their home wasn’t a save place and if the mother knew her husband was really abusing them , shame on her , her drinking and depression really messed her up in the head because I can’t understand how she didn’t do anything , having a picture with a six years old with an erection , the photo store who printed these pictures as well is to be blamed how is that not alarming !!
and there's NO evidence that there was NOT sexual abuse, so how could Prosecuter David Conn say that they are NOT telling the truth, when there's no evidence of falsification? I believe that there was total validity in the allegations. I don't think they would disgrace themselves otherwise, for the entire world to hear such extremely sensitive detail.
How the fuck could this go unoticed for all these years? Cmon man, there's no way you can abuse children to this degree and not have them catch visible, medical problems. How the fuck could the doctors/teachers not become suspicious or file reports? The parents must've been great liars or something idk.
People don’t want to get involved. They see wealthy people.. they figure these are rich people problems… after all… what problems could rich kids possibly have?
Teachers are mandated reporters now. And social workers are among the professionals most overburdened with large caseloads and without proper resources or pay. Hmm.🤔 Just like teachers. I bear secondary trauma scars from my kids’ life stories and primary trauma from being beaten against by a kindergarten girl then accused of bullying *her* and mandated to attend a meeting…so, society needs to pay more attention to happenings around them, take an interest, take a stand, protect the vulnerable, and make demands. Teachers, social workers, nurses, counselors, etc. are at the end of the river desperately trying to snatch kids from going over the falls. We didn’t put them there. We aren’t parents or family. We are supposed to act as additional guardians, not the only ones. 28 years of public service K-5 with 2 degrees and an endorsement, and I left unplanned, and unexpectedly as my job was killing me. I don’t think I can go back. 😕
@LilBitOfSunshine I see. You guys might need some more training, preparing for all this secondary trauma. Anyways, thank you for your service. Kids do need adults outside their family even if they got good parents.
@ yeah.. that’s shitty. Don’t go back. I’m sure you have skills that apply to many other careers. Question : why on gods green earth do they call it “mandatory reporting”, if there are no penalties or prosecution for those who do not report?
People! This shit goes on alllll the time in criminal cases. ESPECIALLY in CA. Prosecutors decide who is guilty, and that is that. They try the cases in the press.. and the defendants are assumed guilty.. There is no doubt they killed their parents, however, their case was decided in the court of public opinion, and the judge and prosecutors made sure the jury only saw whatever could convict. Happens all the time. Yes. It is sickening.
Wait there was years of documentation of sexual abuse and these kids weren’t saved before they decided to kill their abusers?! This is an absolute outrage!
Free the Menendez Brothers! This is horrible! They obviously knew there was no help for them. That and all that comes with being a male sexually abused by another male, especially their father. The mother turned a blind eye. They snapped. A lifetime of being raped is their sentence?! So incredibly sad on so many levels
Both cousins testified on their behalf, the male cousin committed suicide after they were incarcerated, because he felt he let Erik down, by not being able to answer him about sexual abuse as a teenager and that his evidence still got them such harsh sentences.....I'm wondering who had it in for these brothers at this point, because the second trials were unjust, unethical, almost sadistic towards them
October 2024 here. The more and more I dig into this trial (I’m 49 now and remember it going on, but didn’t pay too much attention at the time) this breaks my heart more and more. They were railroaded by the system and if they’d been females it would have been totally different. I pray they get a new trial or released. 😓🙏
Nope, the same men who didn't care that the Mendez Brothers were abused were the same men in society that would claim women who were abused brought it on themselves. There's a reason Feminism exists.
Acá no se trata de género porque muchas mujeres no hemos recibido justicia, se trata es de que los abusivos paguen. Deja de comparar víctimas que de eso ni se trata.

The big reason (aside from the disallowance of the SA claims) in the second trial for the guilty verdicts is the OJ verdict. Jurors were afraid to find the brothers not guilty based on public perception.
Not so much the jurors. There have been jurors who said if they had known about the abuse - and they didn't because it was excluded from the 2nd trial - they would have voted in favour of the boys back then. Some were horrified when they had learnt of the abuse. On the other hand the judge and DA/Prosecutors were the ones hell bent getting a conviction and I think if the judge could have had his way he would have sentenced them to death! Can you imagine.?!
Ese juicio fue extremadamente injusto para los chicos, demasiadas evidencias de abuso y solo se centraron en el crimen, liberenlos ya, han sufrido demasiado y ya pagaron por su error 😢
WAIT so it wasn't just the fact that these injuries and scars existed, which a doctor is BY LAW REQUIRED to report, and Lyle actually TOLD HIM he had been sexually abused?? And he did nothing?? That's grounds for criminal action for failing to take action in abuse allegations
OH Jesus!!! 😢💔😭😭 My Heart breaks for them!! Their Pain is SO Deep! No one can truly understand it but them. Why is there So much Suffering in this world?! 😭 Why do Children have to go through this?! They might have been Wealthy but they were Completely Broken people, no amount of wealth & comfort can give you satisfaction if you are Tormented like this on a daily basis as a Child! They, especially Erik, were just Sex Slaves to their Depraved, Safistic Father who took pleasure in Completely Dominating them knowing he could get away with it because of their Pathetically Wretched Mothers enabling! They were just Children! Totally & Completely Vulnerable from such a young age 😢💔 Truly breaks my heart! They Need to be set Free! What a Disgusting Miscarriage of Justice! What a Tragic Evil done to them! Let them go, Let them Finally Live their Lives Free of this Evil & Depravity! Love from South Africa ❤
I was pretty young when this case played out and while I knew of the case and the murders, I never knew of the details. My gosh, now learning of the absolutely HORRIFIC details of abuse, I am just flabbergasted that this all played out as it did. The abuse is difficult to even consider as a total stranger to these men. I can’t imagine for them and those close to the circumstances how profoundly awful it must’ve been. The parents will have been held accountable by their Creator upon their deaths. I take some solace in that fact. I hope the re-evaluation of this case brings justice.
I’m so glad this vid post used the term oral rape vs oral sex. I realize we know more re: sexual violence now vs then but it kills me watching Erik have to recount his experiences so painfully, and the term “sex” being used throughout. It may seem like a small detail but for survivors I hope we’ve learned the difference since then and words matter
PLEASE COME FORWARD IF YOU HAVE BEEN ABUSED BY JOSE MENENDEZ. Surely more people fell in the hands of this horrible sick person, please help the brothers out of prison, please have a heart.
My God this is horrible. How could this be covered up and looked over? That judge and prosecutor should spend the next thirty five years in jail and release the brothers pronto.
No one ever questions rich people. A lifetime of abuse went by without intervention and the results were horrific. I understand the brothers needed to be sentenced for their crime, because at their age they could have gotten help. A reason to murder someone doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get punished, just perhaps less time.
The opening sentence from one of the prosecutor are concerning... No evidence. How much evidence do you need? This trial opened Our eyes and hearts for what is going on. E & L should not be in prison.
Corrupt Judge, Souless & unethical Prosecutor (Gil Garcetti & whoever that lead Prosecutor was; the first female prosecutor is trash for a human-being too😒
The Menendez brothers could pursue a claim against the U.S. legal system to seek financial compensation due to the extremely inadequate handling of their sexual abuse allegations.
This is why a lot of abused children are afraid to go to police because they are not taken seriously or believed. It is really sad

These poor men had to sit in the courtroom and relive the trauma of their childhood up to adulthood in a nationally televised hearing with photos of their 6 and 8 year old bodies being shown for 11 weeks!!! To tell the story consistently and accurately for that long and for the prosecutor to say you probably imagined that or that is what you wanted to happen is infuriating to hear. I was 8 years old when the murders happened and a freshman at trial and the media portrayed them as preppy rich brats greedy for money. Now listening to the facts, I see these two men were hurting and as a mother now I feel compassion and empathy for them. And yes a preppy rich kid can have a horrible life behind closed doors at home. No social class or status are exempt from having pedophiles or rapists among them
@@S.Blonde But that isn't what happened. Their juries ended in a hung trial. Women voted manslaughter, men voted murder. At the time, people still did not believe men could be victims of s*xual abuse. People did not want to believe incest happened. The 2nd jury did NOT get to hear the full story because the judge through out their abuse testimonies/allegations (including 6 previous witness who were not allowed to testify at all!) the prosecution and the JUDGE said that because they were males and because they were children during the abuse that the battered women's syndrome law did not come into play so they could not use the abuse and imperfect defense to plead their case. They lost the ability to tell their story. The jury did NOT get to hear the story, the testimonies, the evidence. The 2nd jury was given 2 options. Guilty of murder or not guilty. Everyone knew the brothers did it because they said they did but they lost their ability to defend themselves in the 2nd trial. They should have had the option to defend themselves and be found guilty of manslaughter. Past jurors have even come out saying they did not know the whole story and had they heard it, they would not have voted yes to murder. Some past jurors have stayed in touch with the brothers.
Exactly.
I was molested by my uncle at 12. The da said r u sure that u weren't dreaming? I said no he climbed over my cuz. His daughter and stuck his hand down my underwear and was touching my top part of my private. I kept asking God in my head bc I froze during the attack. I couldn't even scream.
I asked God why r u letting him do this to me? Make it stop now. But it didn't stop for mins.
Not seconds even.
I took it to court. The da let him plead to harassment. Nothing more. Which is against the law. Bc it was molesting a minor.
I hate this system. It's so lawless. Later, I was continued raped. I didn't try my abusers. Bc nothing happened in justice for me with my uncle.
For those who don't know about abuse. If you're abused as a child. Good chance you'll be abused as an adult, too. Over and over again. Until something stops your abuse.
I guess you have a victim energy about u. That every sicko says easy target. Abuse them.
You're better not to be abused. Be scary in your affect.
Look at Jon Bene Ramsey - who’s your daddy?
How did they put these kids in jail?! My God, what a horror show. 😢
With all the evidence in the world, they would still have been convicted of manslaughter; it’s illegal to kill people even if they abuse you, at least not when they are sleeping and unarmed.
😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏
They murdered their parents!
It's called murder that's why.
The thing is I agree they need to be free but they did commit a unaliving, so they needed to be punished but not as many years they got.
It adds up with the exact same age Erik stated that the molestation started at.
Oral sex part. But at 3, he was already getting physically beaten up. Not surprised if Erik has forgotten earlier incidents through dissociation
The ignorance back then was abundant and it's so frustrating I get extremely upset.

I thought the judge look like a pedophile himself
That sounds about right. He was abusive. We saw in the court. How he ran over the boys lawyer. He's completely lawless
Same judge who presided on mcmartain molestation trial!! Cover up for pediphiles
It’s hard to believe there was ever a time where this amount of medical evidence could not have been recognized as abuse by medical personnel and reported to authorities. The ignorance and incompetence is astounding.
That was the case in 1996.
I never thought I would see a doctor defend a boy like that.
And yet WEISBERG put them in jail, and got away with it!
But he wasn't allowed to talk in the 2nd trial. So lawless
The parents were dead .
What?
There IS medical evidence of the oral rape. If this evidence was submitted in the 2nd trial i believe there would have been a different verdict
It was sickening and vile and disgusting the way the father raped and violated them. Horrible abuse. Should have been revealed in their trial. And wasn't their was corruption
it was an oral injury, nothing was reported that it was of a sexual nature
@firehorse66elaine you'll have to go back to the doctors testimony from the first trial, but the damage was definitely of a sexual nature. He said so on the stand. The child not only had severe tissue damage to the palette of the roof of his mouth, but his uvula at the back of the throat (the little dangling thing) was nearly torn off. This damage was from something being repeatedly jammed into the childs mouth. He was, I think, 6 years old at the time
@@stashagarcia101why didn't the doctors or nurses report it then??
The jurors even said that for the second trial
this is so sickening, all who made this info be withheld should be jailed! these boys should never have gone to jail!
Exactly
The real Menendes brothers have triggered spiritual awakenings in so many people. Many are deeply touched by their horrific true story of sexual abuse of the male child. Mission accomplished, earth angels, Eric and Lyle. Take refuge in the peace that comes with knowing that you have raised so much awareness on this topic- many innocent lives will be saved because of your tragic experience and the consequent global publicity your case is receiving.
❤🩹❤
So much was left out of the 2nd trial. Those boys were absolutely abused
So it’s okay to murder?? They were grown ass men that could’ve walked away!!
Maybe I'm wrong, but quite sure jose menendez and his wife are burning in hell for all eternity. Disgusting.
Oh they r
Without doubt, a long way down in Hell too. Touching children is the worst
How did the DOCTORS not do anything about this? They are MANDATED REPORTERS or did this not exist in the 70s and 80s? They knew and did NOTHING about it. Disgusting and irresponsible!
CPS got it's start around 1974. It was different than now. This family, in now way met the check list for abusive parents. Now CPS has swung to the point that are more like the Gesta-po . CPS needs to be fully revamped
Exactly
There was but its not like it is now. Nowadays you must call in anything you find out. You make a phone call and send a report. I am in PA
We didn’t have mandated reporters back then.
The ones that knew were told to keep quite and they never testified. Black mail is a very powerful thing.
This is beyond sickening!
THIS IS SICKENING
The prosecutor should’ve been in jail!!!
He’s just doing his job. They get paid to put people away and to keep them in there.
Not the prosecuter but the judge
Apparently, there was PLENTY of EVIDENCE!!! 😠 😡
The court itself should be on trial!!!
Exactly
It looks like there was big money behind this. Did someone pay for this to not go in favour of the brothers?
enough with the conspiracies, it was a shit judge
The boys were convicted in the court of public opinion. Those shot callers at the media outlets operating during that time should be looked at closer
That beast was boy band promoter. His sons were not the only ones he raped. But being very rich, allows you to get away with anything. I posted numerous times, every where I could about it, at the time I was a child psychologist.
@@S.Blonde It was because of the judge. They had hung juries for a reason in their 1st trials. The judge then tossed out their abuse allegations as defense. He said they were not protected by the battered women's syndrome law because that law protected women only. Not children and not men. He took away their ability to defend themselves in the 2nd combined trial. He also had 6 witnesses from the 1st trials kicked out from the 2nd trial. They were given the options of a guilty charge for murder or not guilty. The brothers had already admitted to what they did but no longer had the ability to defend themselves. The jury did not get to hear their defense present it's case for the abuse and the fear that let to the crime. The judge forced a guilty charge by taking away their defense. That was on the judge. The juries can not make a proper decision without the defense having the ability to defend themselves.
By now you should realise rape victims are never taken seriously, especially rape victims who fought against their rapist. If they were younger maybe things would have been different, but they're boys. SA on boys are never taken seriously unless the victims perish. People want the victim to never fight back
JUSTICE for Erik and Lyle , everything is true about the abuse. Freedom around the corner 🙏
Yes exactly

Amen amen 🙏

Gypsy Rose served a much shorter sentence and in a Red state at that. Justice for the Menendez brothers!
That's not Gypy's fault. She never should have served time, period.
Gypsy rose’s abuse was documented by her own mother. That’s why she’s free now. There was solid evidence.
@@bluliitegypsy had a chance to run away, she chose to help her boyfriend instead of just leaving while her mother was asleep and never going back.

Headaches, hiatal hernia, teeth grinding, ulcers.... sounds like a middle aged smoker/drinker, not an elementary school kid. One of several big red flags flapping in the wind.
And not 1 doctor or nurse report it to authorities??
You are right, they should not have killed their parents.... but they should've gotten PROBATION, and MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT.
Prosecutor needs to go to jail.
Those poor kids
Abused to the point of being torn
and then locked up for it
Life just isn’t fair sometimes
No it's not fair to the real victims of this evil world.
It’s clear to me now, the brother never had a chance, it doesn’t mattered the massive evidences, the experts corroborated the conduct, the testimonies, they were guilty from the beginning
I owe the brothers a HUGE aplogy . I was sure they were two spoiled bored brats who wanted to get rid of their parents .
I am so very sorry 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Thank you for having the courage to say that. That's what the media back then wanted everyone to believe.
❤🩹
This is why I say don't treat teenagers badly. You have know idea what could be going on in their childhood.
I AGREE
I have a feeling there is more behind this, something we aren’t supposed to know, something that is unjust against the brothers
Wait, what? Who is this man? And why he didn’t report this back then 🤦🏼♀️
This is bs. These boys were and are continuing to be abused. God bless them.😢😢😢 Why didn't someone help them?
Exactly. Because people didn't want to get involved in other people's business. People were afraid of the wealthy and powerful. They were failed over and over and over again. That includes by that sleaze bag therapist and that judge.
Even now, their family supports them saying they knew they were abused
my heart is broken
❤🩹
Those doctors from that time should go to jail instead!!
How do you not report this to the police??? Because no one took it serious , the parent are monsters who destroyed their lives . From therapist, doctors , family members , friends , everyone was so naive to abuse . It’s crazy!!!
I believe if they themselves went to the police they won’t have believed them !!!
They were messed up emotionally, anything was possible !!! I don’t believe the boys were best children either , don’t believe they were angels because they were rebellious but that’s what happens when you sexually abuse someone . their home wasn’t a save place and if the mother knew her husband was really abusing them , shame on her , her drinking and depression really messed her up in the head because I can’t understand how she didn’t do anything , having a picture with a six years old with an erection , the photo store who printed these pictures as well is to be blamed how is that not alarming !!
Exactly why didn't one doctor or nurse report it to authorities??
and there's NO evidence that there was NOT sexual abuse, so how could Prosecuter David Conn say that they are NOT telling the truth, when there's no evidence of falsification? I believe that there was total validity in the allegations. I don't think they would disgrace themselves otherwise, for the entire world to hear such extremely sensitive detail.
How the fuck could this go unoticed for all these years? Cmon man, there's no way you can abuse children to this degree and not have them catch visible, medical problems. How the fuck could the doctors/teachers not become suspicious or file reports? The parents must've been great liars or something idk.
People don’t want to get involved. They see wealthy people.. they figure these are rich people problems… after all… what problems could rich kids possibly have?
They didn't have the checks they do now
Teachers are mandated reporters now. And social workers are among the professionals most overburdened with large caseloads and without proper resources or pay. Hmm.🤔 Just like teachers.
I bear secondary trauma scars from my kids’ life stories and primary trauma from being beaten against by a kindergarten girl then accused of bullying *her* and mandated to attend a meeting…so, society needs to pay more attention to happenings around them, take an interest, take a stand, protect the vulnerable, and make demands.
Teachers, social workers, nurses, counselors, etc. are at the end of the river desperately trying to snatch kids from going over the falls. We didn’t put them there. We aren’t parents or family. We are supposed to act as additional guardians, not the only ones. 28 years of public service K-5 with 2 degrees and an endorsement, and I left unplanned, and unexpectedly as my job was killing me. I don’t think I can go back. 😕
@LilBitOfSunshine I see. You guys might need some more training, preparing for all this secondary trauma. Anyways, thank you for your service. Kids do need adults outside their family even if they got good parents.
@ yeah.. that’s shitty. Don’t go back. I’m sure you have skills that apply to many other careers.
Question : why on gods green earth do they call it “mandatory reporting”, if there are no penalties or prosecution for those who do not report?
People! This shit goes on alllll the time in criminal cases. ESPECIALLY in CA. Prosecutors decide who is guilty, and that is that. They try the cases in the press.. and the defendants are assumed guilty..
There is no doubt they killed their parents, however, their case was decided in the court of public opinion, and the judge and prosecutors made sure the jury only saw whatever could convict.
Happens all the time. Yes. It is sickening.
Yep. That's the lawless system that is here.
Even Erik couldn’t believe how thick the prosecution was. No wonder those prosecutors were never called back on the retrial
When the brothers get out . Major law suit for all those years in jail .
Wow they should be free and paid millions for wrongful conviction .
At least free the boys, men now
@@imadickens3337yes!!!
YES
Wrongful conviction? Unless you mean they should have been given the death penalty I dont see why its wrongful…
It wasn't a wrongful conviction because they're guilty. They just didn't get a fair sentence with everything taken into account.
Woah. Thank you for sharing this. I was born in 83. Rooting for them most my life now. ❤
Doctors and judges are all sickening 😢😢
Alot of them yes.
I can tell you from experience that children were rarely believed in the 80's, especially if the accused was respected in the community.
I know that too
I can’t believe there hasn’t been a retrial after it became medical knowledge that such injuries are typical of oral abuse of children
It’s mad that all these experts testified but they were not taken seriously. This trial was an absolute joke.
Wait there was years of documentation of sexual abuse and these kids weren’t saved before they decided to kill their abusers?! This is an absolute outrage!
I don’t blame these boys after all that abuse and anger.
Right
THeir pos father was a monster!!
yep
YES
Then these poor kids were indeed molested then how come the doctor did not call on the police they were young to stay silent is a crime
Exactly
Free the Menendez Brothers! This is horrible! They obviously knew there was no help for them. That and all that comes with being a male sexually abused by another male, especially their father. The mother turned a blind eye. They snapped. A lifetime of being raped is their sentence?! So incredibly sad on so many levels
Why didn't family members speak up then??????????
That’s what I was wondering.
Both cousins testified on their behalf, the male cousin committed suicide after they were incarcerated, because he felt he let Erik down, by not being able to answer him about sexual abuse as a teenager and that his evidence still got them such harsh sentences.....I'm wondering who had it in for these brothers at this point, because the second trials were unjust, unethical, almost sadistic towards them
They were sexually abused and still in jail. What a double emotional trauma😟
Well they're in jail anyway
October 2024 here.
The more and more I dig into this trial (I’m 49 now and remember it going on, but didn’t pay too much attention at the time) this breaks my heart more and more. They were railroaded by the system and if they’d been females it would have been totally different. I pray they get a new trial or released. 😓🙏
Nope, the same men who didn't care that the Mendez Brothers were abused were the same men in society that would claim women who were abused brought it on themselves. There's a reason Feminism exists.
I'm the same age as you and didn't give it much attention at the time but agree completely with you.
Acá no se trata de género porque muchas mujeres no hemos recibido justicia, se trata es de que los abusivos paguen. Deja de comparar víctimas que de eso ni se trata.

We want the TRUTH. Which means ALL evidence should be allowed in court.
Justice system failed children once again😢
Thats what they do us fail children.
The big reason (aside from the disallowance of the SA claims) in the second trial for the guilty verdicts is the OJ verdict. Jurors were afraid to find the brothers not guilty based on public perception.
Not so much the jurors. There have been jurors who said if they had known about the abuse - and they didn't because it was excluded from the 2nd trial - they would have voted in favour of the boys back then. Some were horrified when they had learnt of the abuse. On the other hand the judge and DA/Prosecutors were the ones hell bent getting a conviction and I think if the judge could have had his way he would have sentenced them to death! Can you imagine.?!
Cowards
Disgusting

I was pretty young when this case played out and while I knew of the case and the murders, I never knew of the details. My gosh, now learning of the absolutely HORRIFIC details of abuse, I am just flabbergasted that this all played out as it did. The abuse is difficult to even consider as a total stranger to these men. I can’t imagine for them and those close to the circumstances how profoundly awful it must’ve been. The parents will have been held accountable by their Creator upon their deaths. I take some solace in that fact. I hope the re-evaluation of this case brings justice.
They'll be free soon. Laughing at the people that think they don't deserve to be.

so the prosecutor lied!!! Free the brothers now! they were just defending their lives, 30 years is enough
My God this is horrible. How could this be covered up and looked over? That judge and prosecutor should spend the next thirty five years in jail and release the brothers pronto.
Our justice system was shit back then, too! They straight up lied to put these two young men away. I believe they should have been acquitted!
Exactly
No one ever questions rich people. A lifetime of abuse went by without intervention and the results were horrific. I understand the brothers needed to be sentenced for their crime, because at their age they could have gotten help. A reason to murder someone doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get punished, just perhaps less time.
Why did these doctors not send the authorities after treating these kids
The opening sentence from one of the prosecutor are concerning... No evidence. How much evidence do you need? This trial opened Our eyes and hearts for what is going on. E & L should not be in prison.
