Release the Menedez brothers immediately, 35 yrs in prison being rehabilitated and doing great positive projects in and outside of prison they deserve freedom. All the best from New Zealand 👍
I am from the UK and have followed both of the Menendez brothers persuit for freedom. Here in the UK the brothers have an overwhelming following who are all hoping that the Menendez family find the closure that they are seeking. What the brothers have been put through since early chilhoor has been heartbreaking and i am hoping now that the Govenor gives the btothers clemency in time for thanksgiving. Thus family deserve to be united before another member passes!
The brothers were both criminals before they committed the murders of their parents and stole over $100k in cash and valuables from their neighbors. They were failing in school, self entitled and they were also were being disinherited. Don’t let the hype and media fool you. The parents are not here today to tell their side of the story.
@jenc8953 You seam to be the only one in the comments list who are against the Menendez brothers being set free! After 35 years in prison and being model prisoners throughout their 35 years. Have you ever thought about their abuse sincexearly childhood by both parents i might add! I could say a whole lot more but my decencey tells me yo not be fooled by what you say! The signs were there for all to see about their abuse! And being abused myself by my own father's brother gives me a certain amount of insight to what the brothers went through. Have you had such a perfect life that you had nothing go wrong? Were you abused? Do you understand how much ĥarm constant abuse can do to children? No? Well i do. So keep your opinion̈s to yourself unless you cannot show compasion then it might be said it would be better you say nothing at all!
@@jenc8953there is plenty of evidence those boys were horrifically abused. As far as their behavior, stealing and what not, obviously they weren’t going to turn out great growing up the way they did! Time for them to get out of prison!
They need released!!! They were abused this wasn't over money it was over a dark dark secret that went way to far !!! At the first trail they had multiple family members friends coaches saying that jose was a horrible man that he treated lyle and erik absolutely horrible!!! And cousin who said lyle told her when he was a little boy his dad was touching him these people arent making this up!!! What would they have to gain !!! Nothing lyle and erik were tortured and deserves to be free and enjoy life period !!!!!
The amazing work they have been doing behind bars is truly inspiring and speaks volumes! They can keep doing good for this world once they are released! Hopefully advocating for better prison conditions and rehabilitation like they are!
Friendly reminder that if you have not watched the court videos and have not considered the evidence and testimonies presented by the 50+ witnesses, you cannot have a fair opinion about this matter. May you be treated with the same amount of fairness, empathy and consideration as you are showing to these brothers. FREE THEM NOW!!!
❤ I did watch it all. It's a heartbreaking tragedy. Justice, truth and compassion should always be at forefront for all of us. Not corruption, media lies, ignorance and bullying.
They have already spent over 34 years in prison so they have paid for their crime for many years. The brothers have been exemplary inmates and have been doing a lot of good in in prison, for anyone that may be worried about them being a potential danger to society. Lyle has never even gotten into a fight during his incarceration. Erik works with dying and disabled inmates. There are letters of recommendation from their correctional officers, and they are both well respected by staff and inmates alike. You can find their prison records online to read yourself. This case matters so much to thousands of people, for different reasons. This is an opportunity for the judicial system to right a wrong and evolve. The way victims of CSA / SA are treated to this day, is horrendous. It is time for the law to start incorporating more awareness of trauma and abuse, and to focus more on helping the victim, not on just getting a conviction.
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.
Jose died 40 years ago and his estate is gone. What would be someone's motivation to come forward now when there is no money to gain or criminal case to file?
I highly doubt anyone would come forward because they wouldn't stay anonymous!! Their names would be all over the news, they wouldn't get any privacy over it. Out of self-preservation, they likely wouldn't say a thing!!
Really 53 and 56 years. As far as I'm concerned they had already payed for their crime for 18 and 21 years prior to their crime. It's time to let them go.
Absolutely agree. This case was loaded with evidence for not guilty. They feared their father and thought he would kill them since they threatened to expose him
It is heartbreaking that not only did they suffer such heinous abuse & have a biased Judge cause an unfair sentence, but they were then separated from each other for so long! Just so terrible. Please release them.
His denial is a part of many family’s problems. Sexual abuse, is extremely difficult for Men to acknowledge, it’s easier to call victims liars. We can’t do that anymore. Time’s up.
I read somewhere that the uncles confiscated all of Jose's money after the brothers' arrest...i don't think it's a coincidence that the very both uncles were against the brothers from the beginning🤨
@@cjking4511 they did state legal reasons. Both parents were abusive, the mother a complice with her husband hating her children and being as ready as him to get rid of the ones who threatened to expose their secret and destroy their puplic image. Imperfect self defence also implys that the danger of death they perceived within the behaviour of parents was understandable and consistent with their characters and behaviours. You must have not watched the trial.
@ In criminal trial the entire jury must be convinced by the evidence not just you personally. Just because you believe those unproven and uncorroborated accusations as factual does not mean the entire juries agrees with you. Furthermore, for imperfect self-defense the entire jury has to believe you were in imminent fear of the victims at the time of the crime. Just because you personally believe they were in imminent danger does not mean everyone has to agree with you or validate your pov. Many on the jury objectively listened to the brothers’ testimonies and did not believe the alleged abuse was that extreme they had no other options than to kill their parents. Erik testified his mother never abused him yet he killed her. Lyle testified his abuse stopped at 11 yet he killed her. You must not have “watched the trial” objectively or with any consideration of the actual laws that govern the case. Jurors were tasked with way more than just crying at Erik’s fake crying with no tears or letting their emotions make them ignore the legal requirements of proving imminent fear and the fact the brothers killed both parents and not just one yet had no legal explanation why they killed their mother.
@@cjking4511 I agrree with you that the entire jury must be coninced. The reason for my comment on the questioning on the judiciary in that specific trial is for the reason of omission. As you rightfully state the jury works on evidence . And they did that and that is the reason with the split decision by the jury in the 1st trial when ALL of the evidence were put forward. In the second trial it was mostly left out. THAT is the issue . There were obvious evidence of abuse which was corroborated by witnessess who testified. The judge chose to exclude this There was no fair trial There was evidence and if one are to suggest that the evidence was flimsy, then at the very least there were doubt of abuse and there were plenty of evidence and witnesses to proof that. The issue/question then remains.....Why did the judge decide on leaving it out. Who was it going to benefit.
@ The reason that the judge left it out was because the defense evidence lacked legal proof of imminent fear in the first trial. Legally, the judge did not have to allow the child abuse accusations in the first trial but this was a very solid and well rounded judge imo that built a 40 plus year career in fairness. It is not his fault that the defense evidence failed to convince TWO juries at the first trial. The second trial was a regular murder trial where the evidence was limited to recent years before and after the crime to BOTH the prosecutors and defense. The prosecutors were NOT allowed to present numerous pieces of evidence proving the brothers prior criminal past of committing burglaries in NJ and CA as well as identity thefts, etc all which proved the brothers did not have good moral character and a high propensity to lie to police and everyone else. The defense was limited to recent years of abuse that had a direct correlation between their claim of imminent fear and new claim at the second trial of battered person syndrome. It is no one’s fault but Lyle’s that he refused to testify at the second trial. Erik testified for days about his abuse both child abuse and recent abuse but instead of fake crying with no tears like he did at the first trial he presented himself more stoic and cold at the second trial and Erik’s testimony failed to convince the jury that the alleged abuse was so extreme the brothers had no other options than to kill there parents. Objectively, the brothers were adults that were not chained up, prisoned in some basement, etc and that father’s irrefutable itinerary schedule proved he was not a man that was even at the house often and he had mistresses even when he was in CA so the non accusations past 11 from Lyle and uncorroborated accusations from Erik at 18 failed to convince the juries the brothers had imminent fear of their mother or even feared her at all to legally justify them killing her the WAY they did. Most people would have not survived that first round. The fact the mother miraculously survived the first round is indicative of the brothers’ subliminal motivation for killing her which was something way more sinister and because of that they are guilty of first degree.
Their uncle has a lot of nerve saying that the boys were not abused. How the F would he know? Was he there? He's one of those ancient old men who think they know it all - but in reality don't know shit.
I’m pretty sure the uncle knows way more than you do. The brothers were already criminals before the murders, stealing over $100k in cash and valuables from their own friend’s parents. Jose had to clean that mess up for them. Lyle was cheating in school and was kicked out pending expulsion. Don’t let the hype fool you. The brothers murdered their own parents.
There are most likely secrets on kitty's side of the family too because people just don't molest their kids out of the blue it stems from a long line of perverts in the family I am living proof. My family had 4 of them and then there are some in my family mostly the older generation who are still sweeping it under the rug and they all hate me because I spoke out
They poor guys,they were brutally abused,then they went to prison for murder one,which this clearly is not! Thirty Eight Years later,and it's time,it's past time.. Free the Menendez brothers,and maybe they'll have some peace,some happiness 😊 Let their nightmare end.......
Release everyone that is not a violent criminal. Why let these guys out while other people sit in prison for years that haven't committed murder? We have people rotting in jail over marijuana. Is it because they are wealthy or their family is important?? It's not fair to people sitting in prison for years that haven't done half of what these guys did. It's time to look at ALL lengthy sentences and release the non violent people.
It's almost funny that you said that and people agreed with you. Guess none of you watched the DA's press conference last week. That's exactly what he's been doing since he took office. The Menendez Brothers weren't the first he's recommended re-sentencing. They've already released over 200 prisoners. The only difference is that the public is aware of this case due to the latest documentary about them on Netflix. Plus it was a very high profile case back when it happened. But again there have been well over 200 prisoners who have already been re-sentenced and released. Now don't you feel silly? It's good to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. But at least get your facts straight first.
@@LM-hb6yn 200 people released??? That's peanuts when there are thousands and thousands that should be released immediately. You NEVER get out in the southern states. They just stopped letting people get out early for any reason in my state of Arkansas. ( Thanks Sarah Huckabee). It's not improving because one person has let a few people out. We need across the board laws that every state has to follow. Putting people in prison for lengthy sentences when they have not committed a violent act is ridiculous. They are holding the American people in bondage. We lock up more people than any country in the world. While I do appreciate this guy helping some people, it's not nearly enough when we are talking about thousands of people that should not be locked up.
@@67Shadowreaper Tell that to the many black people sitting in prison that lived under the same situation that don't come from rich families. What do you tell them?
Let the Menendez Brothers go and give them a chance to live the rest of their lives. These boys have suffered enough. They should have never been convicted of first degree murder with life in prison. Let them walk! It's time they are free! Let them live a real life.
Release them immediately. The crime their abusers committed to them was far too ahead of its time and no one wanted to believe it could happen to boys too. These boys were children and children grow up to be adults but the trauma is lifelong. Free the victims!
I strongly believe the judge was also an abuser and sympathize for the parents. I don’t know how he could’ve sat there and listen to that evidence and done nothing but thrown out their defense.
@ he was the judge in the Rodney king case. The officers were found not guilty. Rodney king case started the LA riots. After the first trial a little thing called OJ Simpson happed. The DA’s office was embarrassed by the not guilty verdict and needed a conviction badly. The retail started like 9 days after and the judge reversed like all of his previous rulings
@@watsonspuzzle this is the world we live in. Still the dad molested his sons, a 13 year old menudo singer, drugging and raping him, and visited madams where numerous accounts show he brutalized call girls. Of course those boys feared he would kill him. He was a proven maniac. This is outrageous.
If newsom does this, it will be the only worthwhile thing he’s done in office. I hope he redeems himself of all he has put us through by atleast doing this small thing
Such a shame grow up abuse gone into prison so they’ve been suffered from the born till now hopefully they can enjoy the rest of what left they got to live 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥺🌹❤️
I pray and hope the brothers will be released soon. I hope the judge will be merciful and take into consideration all of the years the brothers have already served, they deserve to be free.
They’ve served their time, they’re not a danger to society, they have almost zero chance of reoffending. They have glowing recommendation from the prison staff. And after years of being used and abused by people they loved and trusted, they spent their 30 years in prison bettering themselves and the people around them. With Lyle’s work, helping male victims of SA, I actually believe he would be an asset to society. And I pray once they’re released the media and public will leave them alone to heal and live out the rest of their lives in peace.
Please, Governor, let Erik and Lyle be free and enjoy this Thanksgiving whit aunt wife daughter and all they family, they already pay them was victims, help them have mercy and clemency please
Im 30 now and have lived a whole lifetime, gone to college, and started a family while they’ve been locked up. I’ve done countless studies during my criminal justice degree, and based on their body language and behavior alone on trial I can say with certainty they are not lying about the traumas that happened to them. Free them. They’ve served MORE time than they ever should have.

This case doesn’t stop here. Jose Menendez has at least one more victim in Roy Rosello from Menudo. Was he lying too?
And probably other victims that didn’t come forward. 😢😢

Release everyone that is not a violent criminal. Why let these guys out while other people sit in prison for years that haven't committed murder? We have people rotting in jail over marijuana. Is it because they are wealthy or their family is important?? It's not fair to people sitting in prison for years that haven't done half of what these guys did. It's time to look at ALL lengthy sentences and release the non violent people.
Crybaby
Facts!
It's almost funny that you said that and people agreed with you. Guess none of you watched the DA's press conference last week. That's exactly what he's been doing since he took office. The Menendez Brothers weren't the first he's recommended re-sentencing. They've already released over 200 prisoners. The only difference is that the public is aware of this case due to the latest documentary about them on Netflix. Plus it was a very high profile case back when it happened. But again there have been well over 200 prisoners who have already been re-sentenced and released.
Now don't you feel silly? It's good to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. But at least get your facts straight first.
@@LM-hb6yn 200 people released??? That's peanuts when there are thousands and thousands that should be released immediately. You NEVER get out in the southern states. They just stopped letting people get out early for any reason in my state of Arkansas. ( Thanks Sarah Huckabee). It's not improving because one person has let a few people out. We need across the board laws that every state has to follow. Putting people in prison for lengthy sentences when they have not committed a violent act is ridiculous. They are holding the American people in bondage. We lock up more people than any country in the world. While I do appreciate this guy helping some people, it's not nearly enough when we are talking about thousands of people that should not be locked up.
@@67Shadowreaper Tell that to the many black people sitting in prison that lived under the same situation that don't come from rich families. What do you tell them?
Let the Menendez Brothers go and give them a chance to live the rest of their lives. These boys have suffered enough. They should have never been convicted of first degree murder with life in prison.
Let them walk! It's time they are free! Let them live a real life.
Release them immediately. The crime their abusers committed to them was far too ahead of its time and no one wanted to believe it could happen to boys too. These boys were children and children grow up to be adults but the trauma is lifelong. Free the victims!
Free them please
Free them!
The judge on the 2nd trial has a lot to answer!
He was also the judge in the first trial
I strongly believe the judge was also an abuser and sympathize for the parents. I don’t know how he could’ve sat there and listen to that evidence and done nothing but thrown out their defense.
@ he was the judge in the Rodney king case. The officers were found not guilty. Rodney king case started the LA riots. After the first trial a little thing called OJ Simpson happed. The DA’s office was embarrassed by the not guilty verdict and needed a conviction badly. The retail started like 9 days after and the judge reversed like all of his previous rulings
Wow, he's actually considering it. I hope he does.
If he doesn't he's heartless
@@watsonspuzzle this is the world we live in. Still the dad molested his sons, a 13 year old menudo singer, drugging and raping him, and visited madams where numerous accounts show he brutalized call girls. Of course those boys feared he would kill him. He was a proven maniac. This is outrageous.
Finally!! Justice. Theses guys have been mentally tortured and sexually abused their whole lives.
How do you know?
@jenc8953 evidence available . Don't be lazy. Do your own search
If newsom does this, it will be the only worthwhile thing he’s done in office. I hope he redeems himself of all he has put us through by atleast doing this small thing
I couldn’t agree more.
Amen
He also pardoned Sara Kruzan, the one who killed her pimp for the years of sex abuse and sex trafficking inflicted on her. Just sayin.
Amen 🎉🎉
Free the menendez brothers justice for the Menendez brothers
Such a shame grow up abuse gone into prison so they’ve been suffered from the born till now hopefully they can enjoy the rest of what left they got to live 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥺🌹❤️
Free them already! Their childhoods stolen and their adulthoods let them live their last golden years in peace
It’s about time these men deserve to be free.
This is going to open a can of worms on how neglectful the system was in the 70s-90s and that generation.
I pray and hope the brothers will be released soon. I hope the judge will be merciful and take into consideration all of the years the brothers have already served, they deserve to be free.
It’s time to free the Menendez brothers! I know of close family members who only served five years for manslaughter after shooting their own brother.
Hopefully, Newsom will give them freedom
AMÉN !
May it be a Thanksgiving of giving peace to these brothers that have had to endure great anguish in their lives.
Release them
Erik and Lyle free
They’ve served their time, they’re not a danger to society, they have almost zero chance of reoffending. They have glowing recommendation from the prison staff. And after years of being used and abused by people they loved and trusted, they spent their 30 years in prison bettering themselves and the people around them. With Lyle’s work, helping male victims of SA, I actually believe he would be an asset to society.
And I pray once they’re released the media and public will leave them alone to heal and live out the rest of their lives in peace.
Set them free!!!
They probably saved other victims
They were severely abused by their parents, they should be released immediately. #freethemenendezbrothers ❤💯
Please, Governor, let Erik and Lyle be free and enjoy this Thanksgiving whit aunt wife daughter and all they family, they already pay them was victims, help them have mercy and clemency please
Freedom now👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Im 30 now and have lived a whole lifetime, gone to college, and started a family while they’ve been locked up. I’ve done countless studies during my criminal justice degree, and based on their body language and behavior alone on trial I can say with certainty they are not lying about the traumas that happened to them. Free them. They’ve served MORE time than they ever should have.
Free The Menendez Brothers 🎉
Yes!! Release them!!!
