      @@quatiec9987Because that’s what the case was about. She didn’t invent the details. What on earth would you expect the focus to be on when she’s interviewing them in jail after they’ve been convicted and sentenced? She’s interviewing THEM. Of course they’re going to be focused on the abuse and trying to explain what happened and why. She asked them hard questions. She also cut them off mid sentence a couple of times and called bs on what they were saying. It seems to me (and I don’t mean this is a condescending way, it’s just an honest observation) that’s it’s actually your bias that’s accusing her of being biased. Being an unbiased reporter doesn’t mean you can’t show empathy to the person you’re speaking to. It means that you cover a story from both angles and she did that by challenging them throughout the interview and confronting them with the issues people have with believing their story.

      I agree, I was abused and ra*** many times as a child and a young adult, but I will say... I would not kill them nor could I justify it. Killing my abusers won't make things better, but I did get therapy and I did move to a different town and away from them. Did they go unpunished...yes and I was angry for a long time...sometimes it still makes me angry, but I just wouldn't kill them. Even though I was also in immediate threat. And also, I was almost killed. I do feel bad for them if they were abused...but I don't think they should be released. There's something very eerie and unsettling about them. Then again this happened a long time ago. I hope they've made peace with themselves and God.

Barbara had one job and she delivered = both validating for some and frustrating viewers. It was a very ignorant approach but as a member of the public, she asked all the disgusting questions the public wanted to ask those abused men. 😢 I hope that these brothers get justice and spend the rest of their lives living together and enjoying the rest of their lives in FREEDOM! 🤍🙏🏽 #freeTHEbrothers

      She became very close to these boys, I think about 15 years after the murder her network would not let her continue with them. She asked that because the media and the population at that time (I remember) didn't understand sexual abuse at all and really thought he must be gay. She asked the question to help his reputation and to help us understand that a boy can be molested for that length of time and up to age 17 without being gay. We really didn't understand then, it was a different world.

It was weird bc Barbara Walters way of talking was very 90s but the brothers seemed really...well, ahead of their times.

      💯 agree with you!
      Lyle and Erik are both victims and the way they were treated in court and by MSM was unconscionable.
      Had Lyle and Erik been young women I believe they would have been treated differently.
      Child killer Eric Smith was recently released from prison.
      Smith was 13 years old when he laid in wait for 3 year old Derrick Robie.
      Smith lured little Derrick into the woods before sodomizing the toddler and beating his head in with a rock.
      That wasn’t enough for Eric Smith.
      He tore Derrick’s lunchbox apart and poured Koolaid into the victims wounds.
      God forbid, it’s only a matter of time before child killer Eric Smith hurts another innocent child.
      I’m NOT being dramatic in saying this;
      If they were released I wouldn’t hesitate to befriend either Erik or Lyle if given the opportunity.
      I believe the Menéndez brothers are innocent.
      They aren’t a “danger” and their incarnation is a travesty of justice.

      Absolutely agree. Reminds me of how closed minded people were in the 90s like even if Erik was gay, did that mean the rape he endured was acceptable? Makes me sick. Barbara Walters is awful for the way she led this interview. These boys were abused from the time they were small children and it’s their fault because they didn’t run away? Like wow. They were abused from a very young age. Conditioned to believe their parents and submit to them. But yeah Barbara, they should have just ran away.

      All child abuse was disregarded. There was a big debate during the late 80s as to whether emotional abuse even existed at all or was just psychobabble. A reporter wrote openly about his shock that the Lisa Steinbeck case could capture the interest of the nation. Barbara Walters berated a teen girl who had repeated a cuss word that her mother had called her and then had the gall to run away after her mother had slapped her for it. The judge in the case (ordering the teen to return home) told the girl's father that he needed to step up and help keep the teen in her place.

    the fact that 7 years after the crime was committed, the two of them already showed so many signs of growth and forgiveness and maturity, just shows how that what happened to them was true and that they were healing by leaps and bounds.
    yet, here they’ve sat in prison for the rest of their lives, wasting away.
    no one should get away with unaliving another person.
    but i do believe they were acting in self defense. that should be accounted to anyone who is living in their shoes, with familial sexual abuse..
    it is a DEEPLY damaging and ugly way to grow up and then try to continue to live a normal existence with that sort of dark, dirty secret following you your whole life. especially with that violent side of it they experienced. their father was deeply disturbed.
    nobody should ever have to sit in prison for two life sentences for defending themselves against their own flesh and blood harming them in such a vile manner.

      Yeah I tend to spend when I’m upset too. You’re trying to fill a pain/void and it never really works so you keep going. With these guys, I feel like the murder really happened from Erik and Lyle just protected his brother and went in on it after the fact. I wish they could openly talk about what really happened and what they were feeling as I think they are holding some stuff back due it possibly being portrayed negatively. I don’t think Lyle was hurting as much as Erik because he was already out of the home and had little regard for his parents. You can see it in his rebellious nature in many things he did growing up. But the sexual abuse that Erik was continuing to deal with is what set everything off. Lyle had enough of it and Erik really needed to get out of the house and get therapy. Buying those guns was only going to lead to death as he wasn’t going to be able to control his emotions.

    I was SA from age 4 to 15, and I can attest that even a prison cell would have felt like a haven and a first taste of true freedom.
    When you're subjected to SA during childhood and adolescence, it's a whirlwind of confusion and anger, making it hard to process emotions normally because you're conditioned to suppress them.
    I once told a teacher at school what was happening at home and she went straight to my parents and I was severely beaten.
    For Lyle and Erik, what they did was a means to survive and possibly the first instance of experiencing control or ownership in their lives.
    I'm not justifying their actions, as they were undoubtedly wrong, but for those abused children, it was their escape route to safety.
    Unless you've endured similar circumstances, it's impossible to fully grasp their decisions and motivations. Therefore, I urge you to approach this topic with sensitivity, recognizing that the essence of that abused child remains and cannot be liberated.
    Let me tell you that Jose and Kitty killed these two boys before they were and that is a fact.
