Current Events > What is your view on the Menendeze Brothers?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The 2 boys convicted of murdering their parents years ago. Over the years, I hear that support for them has grown. And now more and more people take their side

They don't deny killing their parents but they said it was self defense.

a member of the music band Menudo said that he was sexually assaulted by Jose Menendez, the father of the Menendez brothers

this supports their assertion that their father was sexually abusing them. And they knew that their mother would not support their allegation against their father. So they didn't like their mother either

My father watched this case almost in its entiery back when it happened on Court TV.

I was like 8 and watched a ton of it with him. He taught me a bunch about the court system as the case progressed.

I have good memories of the case. I remember my father thinking they did it though and it was for the money.

Are they the ones on the Mark Jackson card?

I dont know who that is. But it is this case

I mean, I'm not gonna blame them for being pissed at and hating their parents. That being said, I don't know that shooting them a couple dozen times with a 12 gauge is gonna fix their problems.

Yup. Thats 99% of what I know about them.

And I always confuse these with the brothers on The Cable Guy, or think back and wonder if they were based on these brothers.

Its weird that I was just looking up information about them yesterday, then I see this topic lol.
