Personally survived childhood abduction lived through unspeakable horror. In 1970's not enough was known on trauma or ptsd diagnoses. The experience caused mental illness though my life moved on suffered through decades of not knowing why or what was wrong with me. Ended up seeking therapy thankfully, right therapist diagnosed with ptsd therapy changed my life. 

@Nana2158  -  I'm so sorry you experienced that and glad you are doing well today.

Seriously IDK.  it was a case like the Simpson case. Notorious, gruesome, and so out of norm for those days.  I don't know where in this country they could have gone to get a trial where no one heard of them. They were just gross, spoiled, aloof, cold... not likable boys.  Lol, guess I didn't mince words.  They couldn't even cry believably.  Just not people with any endearing qualities , and both off as privileges and spoiled. But who knows. Maybe there is something. That said, there is something about trying a case all these years later. If the family want them released, that shouldn't be the only reason.  Sometimes  only reason people go free is money and influence. Do you think for one minute  a poor minority person, or forget minority ...a poor man could get this attention??   Don't think so. I am really saddened how wealth and fame seems to buy an easier route to freedom.lately. It's always been there, just more in your face now. See,s like tons of money buys your way out, or a better chance of reduced fines and sentencing.  It saddens me to the bone, but is true

Well, @shoekitty

I don't understand why they killed their mother. I'm not sure they should be released.

[bayflwc]

No, they are cold, calculating murderers.

They were adults when they committed the crimes and if they were abused they could have left.  They just didn't want to get off the gravy train.  Spoiled, entitled, selfish men.

With the new evidence that has come to life, and if a court rules that way...yes.  I believe they were abused. I am a retired teacher and unfortunately, I witnessed too many cases of child abuse.  Unless someone has had first hand experience with it, a person cannot truly understand how it affects children and warps their thoughts, feelings, actions, and emotions.  People who have been abused can do things and act certain ways that a non-abused person wouldn't even consider.  They have served their time imo.

Wow how fortunes change!  The way things are going, not only will they be released, but they'll demand and get restitution.  Then they can buy all the planes, boats they want.  So true that French saying....The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[CalminHeart]

I think the original charges and trial blew off the real impact of the abuse they suffered.

It was a different time in society and we've all learned a lot since then about the impact of physical and se**al abuse.

No

[Sunniegirl]

Both of those guys were adults - why didn't they move out? They didn't have to stay living in the house.  If this was all true and No, I don't think they should be released..  Cold blooded killers.... no regard for life and how they went on spending sprees and lied to the police, staging everything and also buying the gun under false name?  To me, this was first degree murder.  They had a plan that they hoped would work and it didn't.

[goldensrbest]

If the evidence shows they did not kill their parents ,then yes otherwise NO.
