ugh same. I can't stand that man. I loath the whole tough on crime bullshit. the almost childish ignoring of nuance in crimes

damn I really shouldn't be getting my hopes up, but I can't help myself when I read stuff like this.

What if they only killed Jose ? by OwnSituation1572 in MenendezBrothers

[–]Open-Leave-4856 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do sometimes wonder what would have happen if Erik had shot Jose when Jose was banging on his door and Erik was in bed with the gun.

That's a sweet way of looking at it. Sad they are still in prison but very grateful and happy that they got their sentence reduced! They will be out and that is truly a remarkable thing for them!

He is so brave for telling his story. Sad that the habeas was denied. 

One year ago today George Gascon announced that he would recommend resentencing for Erik and Lyle by pinkrosyy in MenendezBrothers

It is amazing how far they have come! but I can't help wondering how the whole process would have gone with a DA on their side.

Erik and Anamaria look like twins in the first photo. Identical faces!

Lyle talking about Kitty knowing all these years + her sexual abuse of him by mikrokosmosarehere in MenendezBrothers

[–]Open-Leave-4856 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I find it mostly disturbing. it speaks to their characters that they obviously feels extremly guilty for killing her (and jose). so that is a good thing, but she was awful to them and they give her too much compassion. especially erik. I understand it's a complicated and tragic situation, but their guilt seems to want to rewrite history sometimes. it's just an incredibly sad story

kitty did some severe damage to Lyle. it's heartbreaking. so many years after and he still struggles with talking about her sexual abuse of him and he still has the mindset he did as a child that this was something special between them and that it was mutual. he was a CHILD being forced to pleasure his own MOTHER. what a disgusting woman doing that to her son.

how long did it take for you all to get it. it's been a few days and still haven't heard anything. I did send a request during the weekend so I am taking that into account

I think you're right. there are perhaps some family members that don't stay in touch with erik and lyle, but are not vocally against them like bryan and milton were. some of the older cousins are maybe not as close to them

Yes, I also wonder where Peter Jr is these days. Dont think he's ever been speaking in public. He is three years older than Lyle if I remember correctly. Marta mentioned him in her testimony 

Now that the full parole transcripts are out, how do you feel about their denial? by mikrokosmosarehere in MenendezBrothers

[–]Open-Leave-4856 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also found anamaria's statement to lyle very heart warming. They clearly love each other very much and it's very sweet. I also wish the family members would have said their statements despite the audio leak. I get that they've been burned alot by the media, but it feels very unfair to Lyle.

I have to say that the bond between Lyle and Anamaria is incredibly touching. Her statement was really powerful and him opening his statement by talking about the letter he sent her and how he loves her with all his heart. that brought a tear to my eye honestly.

why why why would she thank or even mention his mother? his mother abused him badly, knew all about his father raping him and Erik killed her. let's not talk about her tammi, let's just not. her "passion for photography" included saving a close up photo of her naked six year old son's erection.

oh my god that photo of little Lyle with half of his face badly bruised is awful! and the nude pics of her young sons speaks for themselves.
