From the trial tapes, I believe they were sexually abused for most part of their lives. Whether or not the killing was in self defense, three decades behind bar is more than they deserve.
Is it though? I truly believe their self defense claim shooting them ambush style and their subsequent spending spree showed who they were. They didn’t act like they were freed from abuse.
The spree doesn’t bother me that much because they were from an affluent upbringing and had very snobbish parents, they were probably not super humble and nice people dispite of the abuse. Not a surprising behavior after somewhat a revenge.
If I finally killed my abusers I don’t think about Rolex watches and front seats at a basketball game within 24 hours of slaughtering them. They were entitled aholes who convinced themselves they were justified to kill for the money. I’m not even sure they were abused.
I had a very abusive father. To the point where he altered my nose and teeth by constant punching me in the face. (Deviated septum and loose front teeth issues, 1 tooth damaged so bad it died ) I did not, however, murder both my parents.
This is a major turn in the Menendez case. With all the media coverage and public interest, it'll be interesting to see the court's next steps. Do you think they will be resentenced or is this a sign that the original verdict still stands strong?
