Erik and Lyle Menendez could walk free soon after a California judge slashed their sentences for murdering their parents. The brothers, who bludgeoned their wealthy mom and dad with shotguns in 1989, got a gift from soft-on-crime liberals — 50 years to life instead of life without parole. They’re now eligible for parole hearings, sparking outrage among law-and-order Americans.
Their lawyer Mark Geragos shamelessly pushed the gender card, claiming, “If this were the Menendez sisters, they wouldn’t be in custody.” This radical identity politics ignores the cold-blooded execution of two innocent people. Geragos’s PR stunt shows how coastal elites twist justice to favor criminals over victims.
Prosecutors fought to keep these killers locked up, revealing they recently smuggled cellphones in prison and still lie about their crimes. But the judge ignored these red flags, proving California’s justice system cares more about coddling murderers than protecting families. How many second chances do rich criminals deserve?
Tearful relatives begged the court to free the brothers, playing on emotions instead of facts. This manipulative tactic worked — the judge fell for sob stories about their “rehabilitation.” Meanwhile, Jose and Kitty Menendez lie in graves, their voices silenced by the same system that failed them.
The Menendez brothers claim they killed over childhood abuse, but their ever-changing story reeks of lies. They’ve had 35 years to concoct excuses while living on taxpayers’ dime. True justice would make them finish their original sentence, not reward their manipulation.
Parole boards now hold these killers’ fate — the same boards that free violent felons daily. California’s rampant crime wave proves this approach fails. Letting these privileged brats out early would spit on every family destroyed by violence.
Geragos, who also represents scandal-plagued rapper Diddy, treats justice like a game for the rich and connected. His media circus distracts from the bloodstained truth — two entitled men butchered their parents and belong behind bars.
This case exposes everything wrong with liberal justice — soft judges, loophole lawyers, and a system that values criminals’ tears over victims’ rights. The Menendez brothers’ path to freedom sets a dangerous precedent, proving crime pays if you’ve got the right connections and woke excuses.
