Following the same rationale, their parents might have been abused and traumatised as kids (hard to say as they have been killed), so as a result they shouldn't be held accountable for their actions, as in the end they might also be in their own ways, victims of society or their parents. Everyone failed everyone so we should condone violence as it's someone else fault, the notion of free will doesn't exist so we are clueless victims, with a few exception society defines as monsters (these guys don't have traumas they are just bad) and the rest should be released based on a popular vote on social media.

Not just that evidence, but all the key evidence from the 1st trial that was omitted in the 2nd because the judge claimed boys couldn't be SA. Over 50 witnesses (family, friends, etc) who testified about the SA was excluded. Plus, the jury was given unreasonable sentencing instructions, forcing them to choose between convicting of 1st degree or saying no crime was committed at all. The DA was up for re-election & desperately needed a win after losing high-profile cases like Rodney King & OJ, & they made sure to get a conviction in the Menéndez case. At most, the bros should’ve received imperfect self-defense/manslaughter, which was an option in the 1st trial but not in 2nd. This was clearly an unjust situation that deserves to be retried, at the very least. Otherwise, free these guys with time served!

No, it’s a case by case basis. In this case evidence that rightfully should have been considered to determine guilt was withheld only to be considered at sentence.

In most states they have to keep this information private unless given permission to release it or if they say they are going to commit a crime in the future. Some jurisdictions require mental health professionals to tell authorities if their patient admitted to a crime, but there's special stipulations. Generally speaking they are not supposed to reveal past information if there is no threat to people being hurt in the future. In this case it's a toss up. I would say I understand why they spoke up, but I will also add they should have come to the conclusion they were not a danger to others and that they killed their parents because of the abuse. It's not like they were violent criminals.

I don't think that even girl's would've been treated much better, because in the late 80's/early 90's SA was still treated like a "they asked for it" kind of thing... male or female. That started to shift with the release of films like Jody Foster in "Accused". It's not even that society hadn't evolved in the understanding of SA, but it also didn't even understand things like narcissism & Narcissistic abuse. I think more than the Mendendez brothers not being girls... the real issue was the parent's wealth. Had the Mendendez brothers come from a poor family with no inheritance to gain the outcome may have been different. It's the wealth that's always used against them & their motives & caused a dismissal of their claims despite all the actual evidence of abuse.

It doesn’t matter what other victims do though. It matters what these unique individuals did in response to their abuse and why. This offers an explanation rather than an excuse for their actions but also mitigating factors relevant to sentencing. Level of punishment is informed by level of culpability, mitigating circumstances, minimum punishment for justice to the victims and perps ongoing risk to the public. Life without parole is rarely justified in my opinion for a victim who kills their abuser even when not strictly carried out in self defence from imminent risk but rather as their perceived only way to release themselves form ongoing danger

This case and similar cases like this who receive a well produced film, mini series and/ documentary, portraying a small scope of the events surrounding the crime. True crime genre is setting a very dangerous precedent for cases that have been prosecuted, as stated by most prominent forensic psychologist. Many people who watch these mini series or true crime dramas walk away with a perception that is very obscure and often it redeems or convicts a defendant suspected of committing a crime. This is the exact reason why real trials are not held based on public opinion alone and thus proves the importance of the role of a Judge who is supposed to be impartial and responsible for distinguishing which information should and should not be presented to avoid a case being tried based on emotions or feelings surrounding the defendant’s actions.
