carrollyn aragon there's lots of reason to think they really were sexually abused, which definitely must open the discussion of being more understanding about motive
carrollyn aragon I know it's hard to believe parents abuse their kids , but it happens. Unless you have walked a mile in their shoes , you can't know the pain or betrayal, the fear of not knowing when they will go too far and that will be the end. Something that you pray for sometimes, but something you are also terrible afraid of. They tell you , if you tell that's the end , no more house , no more food and if mommy and daddy goes to jail it's your fault. A terrible burden for a child to carry. You are so brainwashed that you think everything is your fault. You don't see options. Some people get a miracle and someone saves them , others are not so lucky. These two boys should be freed , they have paid enough for taking human lives , they endured years apart from each other , I don't think people realize they were each other's life line. That was the cruelest punishment of all.
carrollyn aragon, that doesn't make a good parent. Giving kids money and gifts doesn't make up for unconditional love. My parents gave me the bare necessities but abused me. Should I be grateful for the mistreatment I received just because they gave me a roof over my head? There were times when I didn't want to go home. Children are entitled to the right of being cared for, and that goes beyond food and clothing. A child doesn't ask to be born, and being a parent is a privilege, not a right.
Muirmaiden I just want to give you a hug 💕 I have worked with many abused children , it rips your soul out. To see what parents are capable of is soul destroying.

Being reunited with your brother after more than 2 decades is a beautiful moment for anyone. Besides, their love for each other is deep and unconditional. They are not immature idiots who would care about looks.
Let’s start a petition to set them free. Seems to me that they care for one another and that says that they still have a human connection. So they did wrong but lots of pain motivated that decision. FREEDOM!!!
THERE WAS ENOUGH EVIDENCE THAT THEY WERE BEING MOLESTED I TOO WAS MOLESTED BY MY STEP-FATHER AND DID TRY AND KILL HIM SEVERAL TIMES I AM BETTER NOW AND GLAD I DIDNT DO IT. THESE 2 BROTHERS NEED TO BE SET FREE, PERIOD
I'm glad they're together. I remember reading or perhaps seeing on TV, about a man who was a dinner guest at the Menendez's home when these 2 were kids. One of them said something which the father didn't like. Jose Menendez, the father, got angry and told him he would see him later. The guest wrote or said he's been shocked by the horrible panic these simple words caused on the kid. It was something that has stayed with me. Jose Menendez, as a rich Cuban-American, was well capable of violence towards his children. Of course, there's no excuse for killing someone except in self-defense, especially their mum. Some argue it was a fight or flight response from very confused kids. I think by now they have served their time and it's good to see them back
@Luis Perez Ok I see I've expressed myself incorrectly. I was just reacting to the TV report I mentioned in my comment and why I think one should now show the Menendez bros. some mercy. I have no idea why one of them was so terrified as a boy. And no, I do not think rich Cuban-Americans are disposed to violence. I would apologize for giving this wrong impression except that you're putting words into my mouth. Where did I write that rich Cuban-Americans are basically animals? I still think in general much wealth can turn some parents, men in particular, into despots. History books have gruesome examples of kings who abused their sons. Of course, in the homes of the poor domestic violence from parents to children is also a problem. But the reasons are different & usually the result of poverty, unemployment & alcohol
@Luis Perez If you'd like to know, although I am not from Cuba, I love Cuba and Cubans, especially their unique and beautiful music, so what you wrote was unfair. But thanks for apologies, peace back to you bro.
@Lena Barlow well their dad threatened them saying if they told anyone, bad things would happen to them. and that's why tons of victims of rape don't ask for help. because they're scared. and some victims even begin to believe that what's happening to them is okay or normal because the person doing it to them is telling them stuff like that. hope that explains it :)
Depends on the case and whether she also killed her mother. Also I don't know that most people believed their story of abuse. The prosecution showed there behavior after their deaths as a sign that these are not boys who have finally escaped being abused and are just spoiled brats who now are going to have access to their parents wealth. Most of the public said they made up the abuse story.
@@corneliakobilke4638 I can’t sleep knowing that they are in prison because they just wanted justice against their parents who abused them physically and sexually
y'all, watch the court videos. they wouldn't just lie about being sexually abused. they both cried when that subject was brought up. they also killed there parents as an act of self defense because of how badly they were abused. they went through so much.
I feel like so many people are saying let them free, because they’re attractive. Although, I do agree. They have served their time. Their father was a pedo, and really affected both of them.
The brothers have a beautiful bond with each other. I love it. True brotherhood, something those evil parents would have known nothing about. Keeping them apart is the worst possible thing they can do to them.
I hope their lives are better now. I feel so bad that they had to injure this. Their mother was a piece of work to NOT defend her children. Hard to fathom. Bless these men. 🙏 🇨🇦
I'm definitely going to be praying for God to bring the out of prison an restore the years of their life that they lost.Y'all pray for them too!Prayer works!!!!!
Boys being sexually abused are not taken seriously by society. I had some serious fantasies of killing my abuser back when it was happening to me, and for years after the fact, too. I understand them completely.
Lyle was, is and will continue to be a great brother no matter what. He only wanted to protect himself and his younger brother Erik from those monsters and yet nobody will believe them. They have served their time and deserve to be let out, they were sexually, physically, emotionally and mentally abused by both of their parents and they still got a life sentence because it all got disregarded. I hope to see the day I will watch the news and see these beautiful boys have been let out. We love them so much.
Glad that they reunited. It must have been hard for them being apart, as they had no one but each other. Also they served enough time in prison. Just let them free.
Damn sucks they had to do that , terribly parents, at least both brothers are together now , mistakes were made in life but their love for one an other is strong ...
yeah and they bought ferrari and rolex the day after. how fuckin puritan and concealing are you americans about sex and please update me about mom's crime, eventually.
They both are at peace with in there self and don't have no problem doing life ,just as long as there not getting abused no more ...this is a true sad story !
They have exhausted all of their appeals and they can’t get parole because their sentence was life with parole. Also they were adults when they murdered them not kids.
My parents severely abused us !! When we did try to tell someone they would say that is your Mother and Father shame on you for disrespecting them. Im in my 60s now but learned very young no one would ever believe us. Once we turned 18 we all ran and never saw them again. We are 3 messed up people but people think we are wonderful because we learned to hide pain so young. It has been a long journey friends : (
I hope one day somehow these brothers will be freed. I've always found this story so moving and tragic. I think today, their case wouldn't be seen the same way. There is more sympathy nowadays for abuse victims, especially children. I'll never forget the documentary I saw where someone said "one kid kills the parents, you think that's a screwed up kid. Two brothers conspire, you think...there's something deeper going on here."
Honestly crazy how OJ who literally killed two people got away yet two young adults who were sexually harassed ( as they claim ) have to serve life, if anything only make them serve a few years
just curious, I have an open question for anyone saying they should rot apart etc-. have your ever looked into the specifics of the case before judging them? not just relying on the fact that they were convicted, have you actually examined facts of the case and drawn a conclusion yourself based on that? not looking to start beef, I'm just curious how many people cast doubt on our legal system's ability to find justice and how many are willing to judge people as guilty solely because our court said so
They were 2 selfentitled greedy heartless evil 18 and 21 year olds ,they made up lies about being molested 2 avoid death sentences, I know case from time they SHOWED PARENTS being taken away by GURNEYS, I knew they did it from start ,5hey lied to police and family and friends ,it was never proven they were molested ever leslie ABRAMSON should have been disbarred she paid off doctors ,psychologists, and friends to go up on stand and lie so I dont and never did buy their story and lies ever
@@gimmedaloot8168 , how about choosing the right time to create an alibi. How about having the gun? How about acting in the 911 call? That Eric is a hundred times more dangerous than his brother, he easily manipulate stupid people.
They did nothing wrong your dumb if you think they are lying , Lyle called the cops because he felt bad and he even said he blacked out when it happened he was scared of his dad so was Lyle , why would he lie about hurting is own brother that’s sick they were hurt from time they were little even there cousin said there dad was a bad man so don’t say Eric was evil because you clearly don’t know what your talking about
their intentions had a good enough reason to not get a life sentence. so sad. living the life they did is numbing and horrible and no one could understand what it does to someone and their mind. cruel to separate them too. they needed each other.
TRANSLATE: Had I known I would have gotten caught or even if I did ...lost the trial and am were I am now.......I would have gone to the cops and taken my chances. The prosecution said they did it for money. But that's kind of hard to believe. They already had money and from what I read were spoiled rotten. They claim molestation. Now...that's a tough one to crack. I know from experience that molestation feels like something that ...feels good...but at the same time seems SOOO WRONG. As a child it very hard to interpret. It's almost like you know something is not right about what you're doing but it feels okay and you feel loved so it doesn't seem wrong.... but in 4th grade watching a show that teacher put on about being molested I got quiet and put my head down because I said to myself that's what's happening to me I guess it is wrong. Anyway.... if the Melendez Brothers are lying then that's an extremely intelligent maneuver because believe me the first thing you go to as a kid isn't molestation.... and if they're telling the truth then they should have went about it a different way because if they did have money in mind they most certainly would have been taken care of monetarily.
Why would Lyle lie about molesting his own brother?? Make it make sense, that would make him look bad. He's either lying about the whole thing or telling the truth
@@toduno927 exactly. and did you see their emotions when speaking about it? i don't care what you say but their facial expressions and the pain in their eyes are that of a victim, not an actor.
I know that this was a while ago, but I’m so happy that they got to be reunited! This goes to show that karma was in their favor. If they were truly evil, like a lot of people like to judge about them, then something this special wouldn’t have happened. I’m not saying they should’ve killed their parents by any means, however I’m not their judge and maker. I wasn’t there to know what they went through, but in my opinion, I believe what they say about the abuse that they went through. I HATE pedophiles and I also know and have seen pedophiles get less time than someone who was caught with drug paraphernalia. In my opinion, our judicial system needs a complete redo. These guys did what they thought at the time was the only option they had. I’m overjoyed for the both of them to be able to not only see one another again, but to be able to have each other there on a daily basis. Good for them! God bless.
I have a question. We're are the rights of the victims which are the Menendez boys. How are they getting help. I understand be punished for a crime. The real crime is the kids we're being raped by there father with no help from the mother. When the oldest tried to reach out for help he didn't get it and started to molest his brother. Then on his own he realized this change of events need to be stopped. So the only thing the boys had in the world was each other and stopped there pain because they had no one to help them. Instead of giving them mental help and try and fix the problem you lock them up and separate them. I don't call that justice. There are alot of victims that get punished for protection there self after they try to get help from there abuser and when they don't get help and get tired of being hurt they defend there self then here comes the help to lock them up. So sad that's why people are disappearing, ending up in the hospital, on drugs etc etc. Because they are not being heard or helped. Before you give a punishment even as a parent you need to find out why something happen before you give a punishment. The worst thing of all these are men that were being abused and yes it happens and when things are not handled properly then it's hard for other male victims to speak up. May the Lord be with these men he knows there heart
These kids were victims I was a victim years ago the thought crossed my mind but my father wasn’t worth going to jail the day he died from cancer all that I said when I got the call fro my brother was he will never rape me or anyone else again
Disgusting parents. The dad was sick but the mother was worse, she was the one who should have protected her sons above all else. When children are sexually abused, there will have been been years of being told to keep quite and there is a lot of shame, anger and guilt. Imagine learning that your mum knew all along and did nothing to protect. It seems on the day that the younger brother found out that his mother had always known, he decided his dad would never touch him again. I'm no expert but it seems mums often turn against their own kids, caught up in all sorts of emotions including regret and jealousy. These boys have served their time and should be released.
Their story is sad. I've always believed their reasons for doing what they did. And I don't think they are evil guys, but they made a very evil choice which justice has to be served for that. I think it's good they finally get to see each other everyday. It's some kind of mercy for them in a way.
it is so sad to see that 2 abuse victims serves life time jail time in prison, and the murderer who beat his wife (i mean OJ) is now free as a bird living in his mansion like nothing happened. I guess this is US legal system which I will never understand.
this is heartbreaking. all they have suffered. they have done the time, now they deserve to be free and try to have a "normal" life!!! FREE THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS!
I wish they would just let them out already. They have paid enough. My God they were tortured by their parents and really saw no way out. I pray that they do get let out and get to have some kind of happy life. Money does not make you happy!! Money is what kept them quiet because they knew no one would believe them over their rich father.
They were abused. Why would Lyle make up the fact that he performed sexual acts on his own brother
Tbh, what would he get out of that
Todun o to show that the father had a impact on Lyle

I’m sure their hearts dropped when they saw eachother. They looked so different from the last time they were together
Being reunited with your brother after more than 2 decades is a beautiful moment for anyone. Besides, their love for each other is deep and unconditional. They are not immature idiots who would care about looks.
Let’s start a petition to set them free. Seems to me that they care for one another and that says that they still have a human connection. So they did wrong but lots of pain motivated that decision. FREEDOM!!!
Esuhail Avila I woulg sign that petition if there was even one. More than 20 years already.
Not how the law works. They are guilty of murdering and were found so and punished with life imprisonment.
I would signed too. Very sad about them. I hope they find peace and happiness.
Scott Daniels shut up . I believe in second chances
Scott Daniels imagine having parents like theirs.. they may deserve a very long sentence but not life
The "I burst into tears for seeing my Brother in decades"or something like that what he said and "i love him deeply"made me want to cry.

@@i_xi_xvii_9588 yeah it's gross that they didn't care more
Yeah the death penalty.
Every time I hear their story,I burst into tears. It's honestly so heartbreaking!
I'm glad they're together. I remember reading or perhaps seeing on TV, about a man who was a dinner guest at the Menendez's home when these 2 were kids. One of them said something which the father didn't like. Jose Menendez, the father, got angry and told him he would see him later. The guest wrote or said he's been shocked by the horrible panic these simple words caused on the kid. It was something that has stayed with me. Jose Menendez, as a rich Cuban-American, was well capable of violence towards his children. Of course, there's no excuse for killing someone except in self-defense, especially their mum. Some argue it was a fight or flight response from very confused kids. I think by now they have served their time and it's good to see them back
@Luis Perez Ok I see I've expressed myself incorrectly. I was just reacting to the TV report I mentioned in my comment and why I think one should now show the Menendez bros. some mercy. I have no idea why one of them was so terrified as a boy. And no, I do not think rich Cuban-Americans are disposed to violence. I would apologize for giving this wrong impression except that you're putting words into my mouth. Where did I write that rich Cuban-Americans are basically animals? I still think in general much wealth can turn some parents, men in particular, into despots. History books have gruesome examples of kings who abused their sons. Of course, in the homes of the poor domestic violence from parents to children is also a problem. But the reasons are different & usually the result of poverty, unemployment & alcohol
@Luis Perez If you'd like to know, although I am not from Cuba, I love Cuba and Cubans, especially their unique and beautiful music, so what you wrote was unfair. But thanks for apologies, peace back to you bro.
They murdered their parents for the inheritance money genius! Lol
This just isn’t fair. Life sentence? And for what, for killing their abusers? For killing their rapists?
the most joyful mugshots i have ever seen
How time flies! 22 years.....i remember this like it was yesterday. ....
@Lena Barlow well their dad threatened them saying if they told anyone, bad things would happen to them. and that's why tons of victims of rape don't ask for help. because they're scared. and some victims even begin to believe that what's happening to them is okay or normal because the person doing it to them is telling them stuff like that. hope that explains it :)
I know they did a horrendous thing killing their parents but I think they've been punished long enough
@@elissadavis5657 get help sis. Defending abusers isn't a good look.
It breaks my heart to see that they both spent 2 decades apart from each other
This story will forever haunt me ,
i'm keep these two tormented souls in my prayers
I want to make a pont here. A woman kills her abusive father, she would be out by now. I feel this is an unfair and sexist sentence.
Depends on the case and whether she also killed her mother. Also I don't know that most people believed their story of abuse. The prosecution showed there behavior after their deaths as a sign that these are not boys who have finally escaped being abused and are just spoiled brats who now are going to have access to their parents wealth. Most of the public said they made up the abuse story.
They seem happy in jail because they know their evil parents were dead
They’ve been in prison for what 30 years now? They were barely 18 when they went in.
@@corneliakobilke4638 I can’t sleep knowing that they are in prison because they just wanted justice against their parents who abused them physically and sexually
@@lenni332 tbh i haven't known peace since i first heard about them, THEY DESERVE TO BE FREE
y'all, watch the court videos. they wouldn't just lie about being sexually abused. they both cried when that subject was brought up. they also killed there parents as an act of self defense because of how badly they were abused. they went through so much.
LYLE'S LOOKS DIFFERENT.
latha latha HE WAS WEARING...HAIR PIECES FROM THE TIME HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!
Tiger Steele WHA-
🤦🏻♀️
I feel like so many people are saying let them free, because they’re attractive. Although, I do agree. They have served their time. Their father was a pedo, and really affected both of them.
The brothers have a beautiful bond with each other. I love it. True brotherhood, something those evil parents would have known nothing about. Keeping them apart is the worst possible thing they can do to them.
God bless though that at least they can see each other every day! Their spending the rest of their lives in there. So heartbreaking
I hope their lives are better now. I feel so bad that they had to injure this. Their mother was a piece of work to NOT defend her children. Hard to fathom. Bless these men. 🙏 🇨🇦

Lol. What drugs are you on?
So sad. That was wrong keeping the two brothers away from each other for so long. That is cruel & unusual punishment.
idc think what you think I’m happy they finally got to see each other👏🏻
How disgusting to separate them, after having to endure parents abuse for so many years.

I feel so bad for these guys!!! They didn't deserve prison for life from all that trauma of their sick dad and sick mom!!1 Good guys!
This two are still my fave brothers
Boys being sexually abused are not taken seriously by society. I had some serious fantasies of killing my abuser back when it was happening to me, and for years after the fact, too. I understand them completely.
we are fighting for you boys❤️
These brothers should not be in jail this is absolutely outrageous can't stop crying
I am glad they are finally together again after all these years.
Glad they are together again
LET THEM FREE ❤
Lyle was, is and will continue to be a great brother no matter what. He only wanted to protect himself and his younger brother Erik from those monsters and yet nobody will believe them. They have served their time and deserve to be let out, they were sexually, physically, emotionally and mentally abused by both of their parents and they still got a life sentence because it all got disregarded. I hope to see the day I will watch the news and see these beautiful boys have been let out. We love them so much.
Glad that they reunited. It must have been hard for them being apart, as they had no one but each other. Also they served enough time in prison. Just let them free.
Set them Free
Damn sucks they had to do that , terribly parents, at least both brothers are together now , mistakes were made in life but their love for one an other is strong ...
yeah and they bought ferrari and rolex the day after. how fuckin puritan and concealing are you americans about sex and please update me about mom's crime, eventually.

I love how respectful abc was with this can’t say the same about Barbara walters
They both are at peace with in there self and don't have no problem doing life ,just as long as there not getting abused no more ...this is a true sad story !
They should not be in prison!
Why can they not be let out on parole? Cmon!! This case must be reviewed in the appeals court. They were young
yes, because murder doesn't count when your young
They have exhausted all of their appeals and they can’t get parole because their sentence was life with parole. Also they were adults when they murdered them not kids.
My parents severely abused us !! When we did try to tell someone they would say that is your Mother and Father shame on you for disrespecting them. Im in my 60s now but learned very young no one would ever believe us. Once we turned 18 we all ran and never saw them again. We are 3 messed up people but people think we are wonderful because we learned to hide pain so young. It has been a long journey friends : (
I hope one day somehow these brothers will be freed. I've always found this story so moving and tragic. I think today, their case wouldn't be seen the same way.
There is more sympathy nowadays for abuse victims, especially children. I'll never forget the documentary I saw where someone said "one kid kills the parents, you think that's a screwed up kid. Two brothers conspire, you think...there's something deeper going on here."
Honestly crazy how OJ who literally killed two people got away yet two young adults who were sexually harassed ( as they claim ) have to serve life, if anything only make them serve a few years
Justice for Menendez brothers!!
It been a long day without you my friends and I tell you all about it when I see you again when I see you again 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
just curious, I have an open question for anyone saying they should rot apart etc-. have your ever looked into the specifics of the case before judging them? not just relying on the fact that they were convicted, have you actually examined facts of the case and drawn a conclusion yourself based on that? not looking to start beef, I'm just curious how many people cast doubt on our legal system's ability to find justice and how many are willing to judge people as guilty solely because our court said so
They were 2 selfentitled greedy heartless evil 18 and 21 year olds ,they made up lies about being molested 2 avoid death sentences, I know case from time they SHOWED PARENTS being taken away by GURNEYS, I knew they did it from start ,5hey lied to police and family and friends ,it was never proven they were molested ever leslie ABRAMSON should have been disbarred she paid off doctors ,psychologists, and friends to go up on stand and lie so I dont and never did buy their story and lies ever
@@nilsaholtz2396 what was the motive for it then, it seemed like the way they did it was out of rage and not really planned
@@nilsaholtz2396 , killing their parents memory is worst than physically killing them.
@@gimmedaloot8168 , how about choosing the right time to create an alibi. How about having the gun? How about acting in the 911 call? That Eric is a hundred times more dangerous than his brother, he easily manipulate stupid people.
They did nothing wrong your dumb if you think they are lying , Lyle called the cops because he felt bad and he even said he blacked out when it happened he was scared of his dad so was Lyle , why would he lie about hurting is own brother that’s sick they were hurt from time they were little even there cousin said there dad was a bad man so don’t say Eric was evil because you clearly don’t know what your talking about
their intentions had a good enough reason to not get a life sentence. so sad. living the life they did is numbing and horrible and no one could understand what it does to someone and their mind. cruel to separate them too. they needed each other.
TRANSLATE: Had I known I would have gotten caught or even if I did ...lost the trial and am were I am now.......I would have gone to the cops and taken my chances.
The prosecution said they did it for money. But that's kind of hard to believe. They already had money and from what I read were spoiled rotten.
They claim molestation. Now...that's a tough one to crack. I know from experience that molestation feels like something that ...feels good...but at the same time seems SOOO WRONG. As a child it very hard to interpret. It's almost like you know something is not right about what you're doing but it feels okay and you feel loved so it doesn't seem wrong.... but in 4th grade watching a show that teacher put on about being molested I got quiet and put my head down because I said to myself that's what's happening to me I guess it is wrong.
Anyway.... if the Melendez Brothers are lying then that's an extremely intelligent maneuver because believe me the first thing you go to as a kid isn't molestation.... and if they're telling the truth then they should have went about it a different way because if they did have money in mind they most certainly would have been taken care of monetarily.
I've always been conflicted about these brothers. I wonder if they were telling the truth.
You're a dumbfuck
Why would Lyle lie about molesting his own brother?? Make it make sense, that would make him look bad. He's either lying about the whole thing or telling the truth
@@toduno927 exactly. and did you see their emotions when speaking about it? i don't care what you say but their facial expressions and the pain in their eyes are that of a victim, not an actor.

Set them free, that's enough!
Man if this was in the UK they’d have released them years ago
I know that this was a while ago, but I’m so happy that they got to be reunited! This goes to show that karma was in their favor. If they were truly evil, like a lot of people like to judge about them, then something this special wouldn’t have happened. I’m not saying they should’ve killed their parents by any means, however I’m not their judge and maker. I wasn’t there to know what they went through, but in my opinion, I believe what they say about the abuse that they went through. I HATE pedophiles and I also know and have seen pedophiles get less time than someone who was caught with drug paraphernalia. In my opinion, our judicial system needs a complete redo. These guys did what they thought at the time was the only option they had. I’m overjoyed for the both of them to be able to not only see one another again, but to be able to have each other there on a daily basis. Good for them! God bless.
justice for the menendez brothers
That’s amazing!Now lets REOPEN THE CASE!
It was cruel thing to separate them. Even more cruel than life sentences.
What a cruel disgusting justice system
Such a sad story.
They’ve been behind bars before social media.
Eric looks like the actor that plays Superman
Clark Kent 😳
If the brothers only killed their dad than it would if turned out way differently because he was truly sick
I have a question. We're are the rights of the victims which are the Menendez boys. How are they getting help. I understand be punished for a crime. The real crime is the kids we're being raped by there father with no help from the mother. When the oldest tried to reach out for help he didn't get it and started to molest his brother. Then on his own he realized this change of events need to be stopped. So the only thing the boys had in the world was each other and stopped there pain because they had no one to help them. Instead of giving them mental help and try and fix the problem you lock them up and separate them. I don't call that justice. There are alot of victims that get punished for protection there self after they try to get help from there abuser and when they don't get help and get tired of being hurt they defend there self then here comes the help to lock them up. So sad that's why people are disappearing, ending up in the hospital, on drugs etc etc. Because they are not being heard or helped. Before you give a punishment even as a parent you need to find out why something happen before you give a punishment. The worst thing of all these are men that were being abused and yes it happens and when things are not handled properly then it's hard for other male victims to speak up. May the Lord be with these men he knows there heart
They deserve to be free
These kids were victims I was a victim years ago the thought crossed my mind but my father wasn’t worth going to jail the day he died from cancer all that I said when I got the call fro my brother was he will never rape me or anyone else again
They went shopping for Ferraris & Rolex watches, after they killed their parents.....
Poor baby boys 💔 their so special
glad their reunited ☹️
Please free them 💔
Free them give them a second chance
Disgusting parents. The dad was sick but the mother was worse, she was the one who should have protected her sons above all else. When children are sexually abused, there will have been been years of being told to keep quite and there is a lot of shame, anger and guilt. Imagine learning that your mum knew all along and did nothing to protect. It seems on the day that the younger brother found out that his mother had always known, he decided his dad would never touch him again. I'm no expert but it seems mums often turn against their own kids, caught up in all sorts of emotions including regret and jealousy. These boys have served their time and should be released.
Love to both free them 🙏🙏🙏
I feel so upset for their. I am sad 😥
that is not fair NOT FAIR AT ALL !!!!
Well now that you capitalized it, I'm sure everyone will give your thoughts even more credibility.
Their story is sad. I've always believed their reasons for doing what they did. And I don't think they are evil guys, but they made a very evil choice which justice has to be served for that. I think it's good they finally get to see each other everyday. It's some kind of mercy for them in a way.
That 90s Show brought me here
I would never say this except now but they need to be free like i understand what they are trying to say
it is so sad to see that 2 abuse victims serves life time jail time in prison, and the murderer who beat his wife (i mean OJ) is now free as a bird living in his mansion like nothing happened. I guess this is US legal system which I will never understand.
This is what people are calling 'White Privilege' nowadays. Didn't you know?
ok but like Erik low key cute
@LAUREN ELIZABETH BARRIOS yes they are lmfaoo if you don’t agree the why hurt your little fingers from commenting on it
what was that little scene of “Lyle” coming in and “Erik” sitting on the couch cause that wasn’t them
this is heartbreaking. all they have suffered. they have done the time, now they deserve to be free and try to have a "normal" life!!! FREE THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS!
Please free them.. It's too mch years gone by
I wish they would just let them out already. They have paid enough. My God they were tortured by their parents and really saw no way out. I pray that they do get let out and get to have some kind of happy life. Money does not make you happy!! Money is what kept them quiet because they knew no one would believe them over their rich father.
These guys have lived through hell and below
Wow one of the brothers looks even younger
