Justice failed them.
This documentary doesn't bring as many views from experts, focusing more on the "menendez phenomenon" in the social platforms, so I tell you: If what you saw here wasn't enough to believe Lyle and Erik's reports, research the case. Nowadays, with the Internet, access to information is very easy, so please read about it, watch the full testimonials and research the family's history before saying that you don't believe their stories.
I am terrified when I think that explicit victims were discredited and ridiculed while being treated with so much disrespect, insensitivity and lack of empathy by prosecutors, lawyers, presenters and civilians. It is negatively shocking how these boys have been treated all these years. Of course, one must take into consideration that if this is what they did to rich white kids with televised trials, I can't imagine what happens to those who didn't/don't count with these privileges.
By God, the Menendez case has been seen with different eyes and has also encouraged the discussion of child sexual abuse.
I sincerely hope they have a chance to live their lives free and recover from their traumas

É triste ver como esse caso foi ridicularizado nos anos 90, é triste ver que mesmo com tantas evidências comprovando os abusos que eles sofriam quando mais novos, eles ainda tiveram que ver tantas pessoas zombando da história deles, acusando eles de serem pessoas brutais e assassinos de sangue frio, sendo que eles tinham passado por um trauma gigantesco e era visível esse problema. Eu entendo que naquela época, esse assunto ainda era um tabu gigantesco, mas a falta de sensibilidade das pessoas é assustadora. Eles foram julgados de forma injusta e ainda sim seguiram em frente com suas penas, eu realmente espero que eles consigam a justiça que eles merecem.
