    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 others.

    Utterly harrowing. If this occurred 20 years later, Erik and Lyle would have been sent to rehabilitation for the trauma and would NEVER have seen the inside of a prison. They were failed. They had already had their lives robbed and were already damaged by their parents’ abuse and neglect and they lost a future they deserved.
    They’d better be free soon.

  • @wellthisisinteresting4912

    35:48 you see so clearly how deeply affected he is by the memory of his mother's abusive outbursts. his mannerism and facial expressions are very similar to that of a child that's confused, helpless and hurt about why the mother would even say something like that. I see it a lot in younger patients in my line of work. very heartbreaking
    I think Lyle is often portrayed as the more unemotional/ rational one but I think that's very far from the truth. Lyle strikes me as a young man that learned very quickly to adapt his behaviour so that he would not reveal his vulnerability to his abusers. But he is a very astute and emotionally intelligent person, who displays deep hurt and sadness at the things he's experienced and the things he just had to accept as normal for so long, but also he appears to be a deeply caring and protective person.
    I do believe that a main driving force behind the m*rders, was Lyle feeling like he had to protect his little brother, and the injustice and desperation of it all. I think that he wouldn't have done what he/ they did, if he did not love his brother so much.

    • @canwegetmuchhigher729
      @canwegetmuchhigher729 10 днів тому

      It's true. Lyle loved his dad despite the horrible stuff and would NOT have resorted to murder. Plus he was going to leave anyways. But the dad wasn't letting Erik leave and wasn't stopping his abuse. So yeah you're right, Lyle's love and protectiveness for his brother definitely is a contributing factor to all that. I really admire him, yk.

    The lady spoke truth to power back then. These brothers have not just thrived (if that is possible in a grey environment) but they have surpassed almost everyone's expectations. With so many things stacked against them they embody the resilience of the human spirit. This sits deep within them. Seeing so many different painful aspects of their lives unfold, to me is very heartbreaking. The seperation post the trial , abuse is heart wrenching.
    As a people, to even consider the possibility of not releasing them, seems insanely cruel.
    I sincerely hope that the brothers aclimatise well once released. That goodness and mercy may follow them all the days of their lives.

    They have a second chance to be happy after everything that's happened to them. It won't change anything, they were still abused and as a consequence, they murdered both of their parents. Sad that their lives could have been different, one stupid mistake. Bad parents. I hope they make it through to the outside of jail. Then they have to adjust to a life out in the mean cruel unforgiving world, sad again.
