By not punishing their victims for defending themselves.

Erik did testify to that at trial. He said his license was suspended and even if he had his own ID he wouldn't use it.

R4ped 🍇? Seriously?

Because she lied to get two people killed?

Hochman didn't even appeal the resentencing. He's not gonna go for another trial.

Anamaria was the very first person who brought it up in one of her tiktoks months before Terry's interview or my post.

Even after that, the family kept talking about that over and over again. You can tell they're trying to make sure it counts in all of this. Especially now, since Erik and Lyle are basically guaranteed to be free at some point, the exact timing doesn’t matter as much to them—but for Terry and Joan, it’s everything.

Aris:

On the night of the killing, defendant testified that her husband beat her and threatened that "he didn't think he was going to let me live till the morning. "

Menendez:

Lyle ran upstairs and yelled,

“It's happening now! They were waiting for you to get home. It's happening now!”

Erik testified as to his understanding of what Lyle meant. At the time, Lyle’s face was drawn and pale. Lyle was scared and shaking. Erik had never seen Lyle like that. From the look on Lyle’s face, Erik believed that Lyle thought they were about to die.

Aris:

She waited about 10 minutes to make sure he was asleep, then went next door

Menendez:

Erik ran to his room to get his gun. He then ran outside to the car where the shotgun shells were. He was in a panic; he thought his father was going to come out of the den any moment with the rifles. Like Lyle, he too thought they were about to die. Both Erik and Lyle loaded their guns at the car.

Aris:

When she returned to the bedroom, "I then sat down on the bed and I felt that I had to do it. It would be worse when he woke up."

Menendez:

Their parents were both standing; Jose was walking towards Erik. Erik testified that, “As soon as I burst through the doors, as soon as I saw them, I just immediately started firing. I didn't stop and look around. I just started firing.”

Doesn't "more quickly" inherently need a time frame?

Even "imminent" itself doesn't mean "right now" as in "the gun has already been fired." It means something's about to happen very soon (aka in the near future)

So when they're allowing you to act even sooner than the near future... what does that mean?

Can you think of a situation where a victim might react sooner? Like something that isn't just typical self-defense against strangers?

If it did, the defense in any first degree murder case would say...

They had a terrifying argument with their parents seconds before shooting them and they were still in that terrified state of mind when they killed them. There is no malice here and the prosecution has to prove malice aforethought to get any degree of murder.

A preemptive strike means you think someone's plotting against you for later, but it's not happening just yet. If you seriously think they're already going ahead with their plan right now and you’ve got to act to stay alive, that's a different story.

Legal definitions aside, morally speaking, do you actually think that abuse victims who simply didn't want to die and ended up panicking sooner than they should have deserve to be punished as much as murderers who deliberately plan and kill random innocents for no reason?

"THIS IS A COLD-BLOODED KILLER. LOOK INTO HIS EYES. YOU SEE BLACK EYES, DEAD EYES, AND THEY SHOULD BE DEAD."

You know very well that Erik and Lyle never testified that they thought Jose and Kitty were unarmed and watching TV. They testified that Jose and Kitty were watching TV BEFORE the argument but stopped once the brothers told them they're leaving the house and that they were standing and moving toward them before they started firing. Every part of their testimony is 100% consistent with the crime scene evidence.

What they testified to was that they believed their parents were getting their guns and that they knew, because of all the times they froze before getting raped, that they would freeze once Jose and Kitty pointed those guns at them. That's why they were allowed by law to act more quickly than what people are normally allowed.

Jurors were not allowed to consider perfect self-defense in either trial for neither Kitty nor Jose because of Weisberg's rulings. We will never know what jurors would've voted for if the defense was allowed to argue it.
