That and they were adults at the time of the murders. All they had to do was walk away. But they didn’t bc they wanted daddy’s money.
I'm in the corner of "It was all about the money" and I seriously doubt any accusations of molestation. It is so easy to make that claim when both parties are dead and can't defend themselves from those claims.
I too thought that defense was nothing more than a matter of "Let's try to get some sympathy for these two murderers in hopes of a lighter sentence".

If they are released, yet people remain locked up for non-violent crimes, there is absolutely no hope for us.
These two idiots should rot in solitary.

They were adults. They didn't have to be anywhere near their father. They could have been away from him forever.
but they were getting financially cut off. So they planned a murder of both parents and concocted a (shitty) alibi with movie tickets and multiple setups.
They went and RELOADED and killed the mother who was trying to crawl away from them still alive
They then went on a spending spree afterwards

How dare you present the cold hard facts of the case when some are drinking the Kool Aid that the parents deserved their fate.
The hard evidence that convicted them is a fact. They did all what you mentioned, and then some leading up to and after their parent's murders.

Let me know when “Sam sweet” gets released

Seems like the whole family kinda trashy and toxic. I think the dad touched kids and his own. Seemed like he was a dick and mom was high on money and drugs.

it's been a long time, and I could be mistaken, but I think the defense developed this as a Hail Mary strategy when they were on the ropes, don't believe it was even mentioned at the onset, and I don't think the defense was ever able to produce evidence credible enough for the judge to allow it to be admitted

Well in the first trial they did present that evidence but the second trial they couldn't use the imperfect self-defense so that meant none of the sex abuse could be brought up.

Maybe so but there has been new evidence that came out recently supporting that the dad was Chester

New Evidence in the Menendez Murder Case
1. Letter from Erik Menendez
A letter written by Erik to his cousin, Andy Cano, around December 1988—about eight months before the murders—has surfaced.
In the letter, Erik describes being afraid of his father and mentions ongoing abuse, writing lines such as:
“It’s still happening … Every night I stay up thinking he might come in. … I’m afraid … He’s crazy. He’s warned me a hundred times about telling anyone, especially Lyle.”
This letter was not used in the original trials. It’s now being treated as new corroborating evidence for the brothers’ long-standing claims of sexual abuse by their father, Jose Menendez.
2. Abuse Allegation from Former Boy-Band Member
Roy Rosselló, a former member of the Latin pop group Menudo, has alleged that Jose Menendez sexually assaulted him in the early 1980s when he was a teenager and Jose worked in the music industry.
This allegation supports the defense’s portrayal of Jose Menendez as an abuser and is being cited as additional corroborative evidence that could affect the brothers’ case.
Regardless, they could have left since they were adults at the time of the murder. They also had zero reason to murder their mom.

It depends. New evidence has both solved crimes and absolved people wrongly convicted.
I do see why the new evidence in this case deserves scrutiny, considering the sources. The band member could be looking for that last bit of fame with his claims.

I'd feel totally different about this if they didn't
- premeditate the shite out of this
- walk back inside and blow the mom's head off point blank
- go on a joy ride around the country with their money, looking happy as hell
- fake crying in public about it
This wasn't a "dad and mom were abusive and I got the shotgun and killed them in the moment" thing.

You're looking at this through the lense of a well-adjusted adult who likely wasn't abused.
People who haven't been abused greatly underestimate the psychological effects it has on developing minds, especially when that abuse is done by a parent, and potentially ignored by another.
As they became fully grown adults, they realize what they did was reprehensible and wrong and seem to hold that view to this day.
