Los Angeles – Eric and Lyle Menendeus talked on Thursday who criticized the recent decision of the district tourist attorney Los Angeles to contrast the new trial for Brothers, who spent almost 30 years in prison for killing their parents from 1989. years.
Menendez relatives applauded in the California Govin Gavin Newtom for his decision a day before Order that the administrative administration for the conditional study of investigation Would the brothers represent the risk of the public if they were released, the first step for the governor to eventually decide whether or not to give.
Brothers, 18 and 21 years found guilty in maternal murders, Kitty Menendez and an entertainment executable father, Jose and sentenced to Life in prison Without conditional. They started their most recent Offer for freedom In recent years after their lawyers said that new evidence appeared on sexual abuse of their father and with support most of their extended families.
In a long-lasting press conference in Nathan Hochman, he invested a suspicion of new evidence of sexual abuse and characterized his own testimony of sexual abuse as unreliable because they told them five different explanations that made the murder.
Anamarie Baralt, Nećaki Jose Menendez, named Hochman’s decision “Extra injured” to the family after they had met with his office weeks before sharing their experiences.
“Ignores how far we have recognized the long-term effects of abuse and systemic barriers that victims silent,” Baralt said. “Expectation that the victims should immediately publish their abuse neglects the reality of trauma.”
BARALT said that their relationship with the current administration differed from their District Prosecutor’s Attorney George Gascón and questioned whether Hochman’s decision took into account the current knowledge of trauma.
“Does he apply laws as there is today, with modern, condescending traumas? Or relies on an outdated harmful framework that has since been rejected,” Baralt said.
Tamara Goodell, Eric and Lyle Menendez’s second relative, also expressed disappointment due to lack of recognition of the achievement of the prison brothers.
She said that the brothers, who now in the 50s “created a career for himself” while closed, in more detailed groups of peer support and initiatives that began in prison.
For Erik Menendez, this includes alternatives to the project of violence, a series of workshops that promote non-violent conflict resolution; Disability and older support group; and a 12-step meditation class.
Lyle Menendez created a green space project to beautify prison through frescoes and landscaping, “the indication of the first prison administration has entrusted the prison administration to lead such a redesign” towards Baralt. He also started a mentoring group for teenagers with life sentences without the possibility of a conditional and newsletter to encourage communication in the prison population.
The proposed interference for the brothers was placed to take over on the Martian hearing and made them fulfill the conditional conditional. Hochman said he would share the update of his position in the coming weeks, and that the decision will take into account the rehabilitation of the brothers during his time in prison.
Goodell and Baralt said that from his own interactions with the brothers from today’s decade that they had “huge remorse” for his actions at night killed his parents at night.
Baralt recalled something Lyle told her in the letter for 2006. year.
“He said,” I need to understand that I recognize my actions are your personal tragedy and I know I can never return it, but I will spend the rest of my life better, “he said better,” he said better, “he said better.”
