I believe in redemption I really do, and quality of mercy. I also believe sometimes you just pay for your crime, even if you are forgiven and change. Do I believe if they got out they would do the same thing? No. I doubt it. But neither would half the people in prison. I truely believe they are looking for a pardon higher up and feel they have a chance. I myself believe unless they have DNA evidence, and can prove they didn't kill their parents they did what they did, and they must pay according to law. There are some circumstances that have come up over the years and people have been paroled early. It's rare, but I don't think these brothers qualify. Think about it , most of the people in prison were abused, most worse that they were with none of their privlidges . It's our system, until there is another, ....

I agree with you. I didn't know that one of the "boys" reloaded his gun to finish killing his mother. I read about another case about a mercy killing and the guy was convicted because it was discovered that he reloaded his gun. In the court's eyes this showed premeditation.

Pecky: Good point.
(I haven't seen any of the documentaries.)

For what it's worth, no I don't think they should be released. Have their sexual abuse accusations been proven?? Nope, I think they're cold, calculating, and devoid of empathy. They did the crime, now they need to do the time.

No, I don't believe that they should get out. The part that I just cannot get past is reloading to make sure their mother was dead. Still makes me weep all these years later.
I watched that trial back in the day. My takeaway was that they were liars and manipulators. I never did see any remorse. IMO, they were acting and their attorney was handling them as mere babes in the woods. She even dressed them a certain way to look like school boys. It seemed like a charade that never convinced me.

Jose Menendez sexually abused other boys, as well, not just his sons. You don't think this is relevant to their case?
We will never know will we if he sexually abused other boys because he is dead and cannot defend himself. Why didn't this come up in their two trials?
I believe the other boys he abused are still alive, and not all information presented to the police was "allowed" during the trial.
Think about that for a moment.

Prisons are crowded.
It might be a good idea to find out which inmates have been genuinely very helpful, have been volunteering for 'this and that' projects, have been studying subjects that might improve their lives, etc.
Actually, this might be a goal for other inmates to follow.
Improving themselves, being useful, etc. is a good thing, in the long run.
It wouldn't hurt to find those other inmates and give them some sort of break in their sentences.
Just thinking out loud right now.
