They slaughtered their parents, cut the crap they are not innocent angels.

@msdixieblues March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

We also need to remember that LA County District Attorney was mortified that they lost McMartin, Rodney King and OJ trials. And both Judge Weisberg and DA Pamela Bozanich were on the McMartin Trial that resulted in a hung jury. Huge embarassment for them.

@msdixieblues March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Robert is so full of knowledge about this case.

@neilacrabtree1617 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Netflix sucks at telling the truth on their shows. Just more dramatics. The brothers were not sleeping with each other either. They should be sued for defamation.

@neilacrabtree1617 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

The brothers were not given a fair trial. If you aren't allowed to claim self defense, these boys needed help. Their own family believes their story.

@Sharon-fw9qw March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I can remember this trial and one thing I'm shocked about is remembering that all commentary i listened to at that time it sounded like we'd be crazy to think the boys weren't really crying.

@sheilareyes8655 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

We want to see justice for Roy Rosello and all of the Menudo boys that were hurt by Edgardo Diaz evilness. Edgardo Diaz belongs in jail and instead we see the justice system dragging their feet to release 2 man that already pay with their lives for the horrors they lived with the true monsters that were there parents.

***apologize for the long rant ; however this has to be said ;

If GYPSY ROSE can have a net value of 3 million dollars plus- and if you have done your own research aside from the very false narrative pushed by MSM and her mindless few supporters, you understand that someone who very much took a direct responsibility in her mothers death – (she stole the weapon from Walmart; the man she got to help her had a diagnosis of Autism – he was claiming a permanent disability check, she paid for his ticket to her – plus spent two plus years thru multiple documented records trying to talk him into helping her even tho he cont turned her down – when she finally did the deed her mother had been battling cancer and diabetes and was mostly bed bound- she had already left several times at night – proven via the neighbor and also the hospital were she visited a married man at one point – and you realize she was 24 at the time- she could of simply left at any moment – however MSM has pushed the narrative that her lawyer had claimed she was abused by having unneeded medical things done – when infact she has a micro deletion disorder she never had but 4 surgeries (she includes procedures and counts them as a “surgery” she wants the public to believe any doctor or dentist would do unnecessary things because some guardian tells them to do it- is disrespectful towards the profession all together! They are mandated reporters if a parent went into most dr or dentist office (I.e. bottle rot bc she drank pepsi from a bottle up until she was arrested ) and there was no medical reasonings for something and the parent said do this or do that- they would have cps at your door so quickly. They take an oath to do no harm – and they have to report any form of abuse or anything that seems inappropriate or they take a risk of loosing their license no dr is going to put that on the line for anyone- plus we all know Medicaid requires so much documentation before they will pay for anything- so that’s that, and she also was collecting a check at the time- and taking resources such as “make a wish “ “habitat for humanity” and other programs and along with her mother committing fraud which they were under investigation for at the time when she decided that offing her mother was better than walking out the door- or even calling the cops or cps herself. After all she had a cellphone and also laptop – she had many other ways of escaping her mother. Instead her lawyer after she was charged began to push a narrative against someone who was no longer alive to defend herself.
She is now “famous” and collecting blood money bc Missouri has NO son of Sam law in place. Her co defendant has a life sentence and she is on social media and threw at us as if she should be some role model for the younger generation? I please ask that you research documents – even her original arrest video ; it is all there for you to see yourself! Unfortunately MSM – and yes as much as i loved 60 min before to hear they have paid her $50 k for a interview that will air tonight- is gross

– if she can be out “on a high right now and can’t nobody bring her down she is living her best life”
Then 100 percent these men who have spent 30 plus years behind bars and also there is proof they were molested – by there father and there mother did nothing!
At the original trail I remember seeing grown men broken crying —every how you feel about there case- if we are to accept Gypsy then these brothers have paid there dues!

@HEISRISEN-u4x March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

they were asked why did you kill your parents on a sunday > they said because that was the day the maid as off work.

@MacaRGlez258 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

how many times did he say they were national ranked tennis players? hello? Zverev current number 2 in the world is accused of DV… why is that important

@ednamode9412 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I can’t breathe. My mom can’t breathe. My family can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.

@kyrene94 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

LA county wanted those boys convicted because they were lighter skinned and fair game. The racial discrimination of CA goes back decades. OJ gets off. But actual sexual abuse victims get the worst punishments

@mikebalyan5060 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

THEY PAID THIS GUY AFTER KILLING THERE PARENTS TO HAVE THERE BACK EVERYONE IS SO NAIVE

@HEISRISEN-u4x March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

why did lyle tell his ex girlfriend while she visit him in jail to say his dad raped her? she told lyle she didnt want to do that and he told another of his friends to say the same and both refused to lie for him. they also did a robbery at beverly hills before the murders of their parents and the police called the father and their dad got mad at them and told them they were both off the will!! they even paid off the menudo guy to say the dad raped him too!! why all the lies about their father?

@JeremiahAlphonsus March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Didn't the brothers have multiple robbery convictions before the killings? I'll be listening for whether he mentions this.

@joycehalperin9562 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Thank you for this great interview with this great man!

@Phoenixishot March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Super compelling interview! I was tuned into every word. Bob communicates in a sequence and cadence that is clear and vivid. He conveys both facts and story that’s easy to visualize. Also, amazing journalistic integrity! Tara great questioning, and great job allowing him to speak without interruption. Bravo!

@joseluisdzsilva4356 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Jusqu'à quand la justice américaine va a continuer à garder les deux frères en prison, ils n'ont pas été à l'écoute des toutes les évidences que les avocats de Lyle et Erick ont présenté, ils ont payé largement leur terrible acte, les parents étaient des MONSTRES. 🇨🇵

@dumdropdumdrop March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

what does the following all have in common?

1. impropriety
2. agriculture
3. french connection

cannot be erased just by saying

@mercedesbraiber6123 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

To bad parents were murdered by their own sons , I never hear nobody said , they didn’t deserve to died like that , even if they were being abuse which I doubt it Jose was cheating on his wife left and right , he didn’t need to have sex with his sons , and why ? They want to kill then , they were rich , why they want to spend the rest of their life in jail ? Just saying

@LadyVader33 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

These boys needed a mental health center, not prison. I hope this is a wake up call to the justice system overall

@marklivers5907 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

check background on those 6 men that was on jury

@SamsungGalaxy-pi9bx March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

wauw he knows a lot. but facebook trow me of because i said jose was a pedophile and they blokked my account😢

@longnlean34 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Nope! They were grown men. You pack your bags, move out, tell the police and go get psychological therapy. Driving an hour to buy fire arms instead of driving to the police is where the real crime was.

@RachaelSiddle March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I remember this case being on news on the UK. Like he says there was no internet or social media! The Menendez Brothers need to be released now. Hopefully the date in march will see them free!

@domenicaduenas507 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

El periodista los ayudó desde el principio y ahora también, aprecio mucho al periodista ❤❤❤seguiremos esperando su liberación ❤❤❤

@Salee-ze7qt March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

There was 2 other judges acknowledging that the second trial was corrupted by prosecution and judge weissberg. It is all too obvious for anyone looking into the details of first trial but lawyers can fiddle anything through some legal loophole to make it seem legit, no matter how far off the truth. There were lots of experts who acknowledged their abuse and delivered solid arguments for manslaughter, alongside over 50 cooperating witnesses for the defence. Its hard to correct prior miscarriage and it's disturbing to see how corrupted man get away with manipulating puplic narrative with lies and half truth and convict them disproportionatly harsh just for the sake of their own dodgy or political agendas. That's not what justice is supposed to be about. And certainly has also nothing to do with puplic safety.

@BNiceBGreen March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

As a victim of violence by my family, physical and psychological violence, I do understand a lot of what this man is explaining to us. It makes me feel so sick when such families act like perfect to other people but behind closed doors it is like hell in earth. Not saying they did it or not but I do feel sorry for them growing up in a toxic family

@nickdedivanaj March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Sam Rockwell will play this guy

@JoanDenise March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Like my beloved brother John, told me Australia is U S A just twenty years behind.

@JoanDenise March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Kitty was victim one.

@rocioramirezegusquiza1307 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

¿Qué le pasa a la presentadora de este programa? "Nadie vió el abuso sexual de José Menéndez" OBVIO PUES porque los agresores sexuales nunca hacen sus actos de manera pública, sino privada.

@dr.stephensabatini5098 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

People that kill their parents often lie!!!

@tomgardner8825 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

nothing that this man says excuses the fact the brothers bought shotguns in San Diego under a false name, murdered they parents, lied about it. lied at trial. in fact one brother did not testify at the second trial. Why? because he woukd by proved a liar.

@SuAnne-lc5rw March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

What a great 👍 interview. The journalist is an expert on this subject. He Su

@bobbyb5546 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

When the former Menudo member came out and said Jose Menendez raped him when he was a child, we knew the brothers weren't lying about their dad. They should be out.

@danielarivas3174 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I love her. She a queen

@helenafagerstrom8970 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I absolutely don't think Jose and Kitty intended to kill their sons. In fact, Jose protected his sons when they committed thefts. Sure the family was dysfunctional. I think the brothers displayed sociopathic behaviour.

@alexwallace6120 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I haven't seen the Netflix series or recent documentary about the Menendez brothers. I am turn them getting out, as i sometimes the sexual abuse allegations and other times don't. Now with that letter, and the former boy band member accusations. Why he make that up? Why come forward now.? Are their victims of their father out there? This well done and very informative. What on in that home, only 4 people truly know and 2 are dead.

@EvelynLogan-h2k March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I totally agree it's carries the shame you feel

@EvelynLogan-h2k March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Unbelievable

@EvelynLogan-h2k March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Respect for not telling as he asked you not to

@Sue-gh4in March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

I’m glad they’re not getting out. I understand about the abuse from their father HOWEVER: they killed their mother in cold blood for what???? Let them STAY IN THERE.

@sleepers123 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

"They choose to help others"….yadayadayada. Why didn't they make those choices before they killed? All of the sudden they are great inmates and have really grown yadayadayada……these 2 are ruined people. We need to be protected.from them and others like them.

@lf3361 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Premeditated M*Murder. They should NEVER get out

@amandablack7400 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Even if it was true that they were sexually abused- which I doubt- NOTHING excuses killing ones parents! End of….it was the money why they did that, remember their shopping sprees after the murder!

@1ChicagoProducer March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

⁠ I have the same information everyone else has. The facts are that abuse isn’t the center of this case. Tens of thousands of people are abused including myself. It NEVER is a rational thing to murder especially when the victim can walk out of the door to police and/or safety. They had bank accounts, One of them had total freedom and lived on the east coast, the other was about to leave for college. I’m sorry for what they went through but they were in no way prisoners who needed to kill their parents in order to escape. The thought that they should be released after planning and executing a murderous plan is mind boggling to anyone who has a basic understanding of the law. Feeling sorry for their abuse isn’t an excuse for double murder!!!!! They had the freedom and means to leave but they chose to kill and I’m sure money was part of the motive.

@chamsad6534 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Poor editing and weak interview agenda, extremely disappointing!

@vonDrouver3000 March 30, 2025 - 2:42 pm

Release brothers Menendez! They have suffered enough! This man was great , clearly used his logic and good journalism research, Tara was very professional at staying objective ❤
