      he was also an executive of rca and managed his own mysic group menudu and its coming out now that a lot of people in the music industry are wicked and like touching kids so it’s not far fetched that these allegations are true. Its sad they called their experience an “abuse excuse” how could anyone possibly make up these evil things

      I can't blame them for think their lives were in danger. They father tell them he will kill them if they told anyone. I seem to recall Lyle wanted to tell but Jose threat them. Some people would said its a empty threat but when its said every time it would convince you that your life is in danger. And then Kitty would just turn a blind eye to this and said 'they father knows what best for them'. Those few word make me want to scream and tear my hair out every time.

      Exactly. But with lawyers it a matter of winning the case. They don't seem to care if your a innocent person or not. Pamela the prosecutor only cares about winning and accord to her she said 'they didn't win'. In my opinion she want them put to death instead of facing life in prison. To me death is a horrible punishment to a person who was suffering from abuse all their lives.

      Well, exactly. The jury who judged him werent allowed to hear this. This was the first trial , which resulted in a hung jury.

    This proves it's self defence. Them saying they feared for their lives. Imagined being drilled like this as child. They confronted their father and he definitely most definitely threatened them. How could they not believe he'd do it, especially after all this. The fact that they even felt guilty for muddring them. I challenge anyone to watch these tapes and not say the father and mother deserved it. U can not make thi stuff up. The fact that several family members corroborated it Jesus. The judge who limited the SA evidence that could be shown in the second trial title should be receinded. Whoever they are permanently ultered their lives. Life sentence without porole insane.
