MENENDEZ BROTHERS UP BEFORE PAROLE BOARD

By Bob Walsh

 

 

Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents 36 years ago.  There is no question about that.  None.  The DA alleged that they did it in order to inherit the money.  Their actions after their parent's deaths would tend to support that assertion.

They have fairly recently "revealed" that they were frightened of their father because he was (allegedly) molesting them and they JUST HAD TO kill him to defend themselves.  It isn't real clear why they shotgunned their mother in this case, but they did.  They got life without.

In any event since Life Without Parole is a meaningless phrase in CA now they are going to speak to the parole board today and tomorrow.  The parole board MIGHT recommend them for release.  The Governor has the authority to overturn a release recommendation.  Whether he would use it is hard to say, but generally speaking, like most good liberals, he does not believe in personal responsibility, so you don't know what he might decide.

I will keep you posted.

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Like most good liberals? Bob, that's a bridge too far. Like most people, they believe in personal responsibility. I suspect that applies as well to Gov. Newsom.
