There's no real evidence that Lyle ever threatened the therapist Dr Oziel. According to the therapist what happened is that Erik ran out of the session crying and Lyle ran after him. Dr Oziel tried to get Lyle to come back rather than chasing Erik to which Lyle said to him "good luck Dr Oziel". Dr Oziel took this to mean a threat. Personally I think it's pretty evident from other evidence (other witnesses and the confession tape) that Oziel was not afraid of the brothers and just had to come up with an excuse at trial as to why he divulged patient secrets to his mistress.

Hi Scott… great video. My wife and I went on your tour in Hollywood back when you had one van and you were driving it. It was so good! I think that must have been mid to late 90’s? Any way, just a quick point regarding this video. When pellets (birdshot) are fired from a shotgun barrel, they stay in a very tight group (about an inch diameter) for several feet. They remain a very tight group of pellets. They are actually contained in a little plastic cup (wadding) that doesn’t separate from the shot for several feet. They don’t “spray” out of the front of the barrel (a common misconception). Actually, depending on the choke of the barrel, the spread is typically less than 1 inch per yard. So in this case, all the shot would have been grouped less than about 2 inches at most, causing devastating injuries as you describe. Thanks for what you do! Take care…

The prosecution was allowed to show evidence of the brothers spending post crime. Not sure why you're saying it wasn't allowed. Family members did refute it though as an uncle did have a conversation with Jose where Jose told him that he had told the brothers they were already out of the will. This is also brought up during the confession tape where Dr Oziel asks them how they felt about being told they had been disinherited many months prior to the killings to which they are both apathetic. So why kill to inherit money you don't think you'll be getting?

@BarbaraCowdery They did spend a lot of money, especially the older brother Lyle. However, they grew up very rich with the parents constantly buying expensive things (they lived in a Beverly Hills mansion at the time of the killings!) If you watch the trial & the testimony of the people who actually knew them, there was so much abuse & dysfunction in the home yet the parents valued material possessions & image above everything else. The family spent $ like water & it had no real value to them. The brothers were never taught to deal with their emotions in any positive way or manage money as that would show “weakness.” Lyle always has expensive spending habits, he even bought his first girlfriend in high school an expensive fur coat! So that’s how they grew up. People forget that retail therapy is a thing where people indulge in buying products similar to over indulgence in drugs or alcohol to get over a trauma.

@lorlo7 Місяць тому

The reason they thought they were going to be killed is Eric told Lyle that the abuse was still happening. He had tried to go to move out and Jose wouldn’t allow it because he was still raping his son. After Eric told him, Lyle confronted Jose and told him he had to stop. Jose told them that if anyone ever found out about what he did, then he would kill them. They then all went on a boat trip where Eric and Lyle thought that this is when they would be killed. The boat captain even talked about how scared the boys seemed during their trip. That’s when they made the plan. It wasn’t perfect and they should have gone to jail, but abuse screws with your brain. Not excusing killing them, but Jose and Kitty got what came to them so I have no sympathy for them. (Kitty was also horrifically abusive and was pretty well documented on that)

@Leanah37 Місяць тому

Exactly! Whenever anyone talks about this case they just focus on crime scene and repeat false and biased pro-prosecution claims that the brothers just wanted money. But they never mention the events that led to the murders or the abuse they suffered and all the evidence. So frustrating

@YourEverydaySheep Місяць тому

This. I don't know why everyone ignores the boat trip they went on the day before. They were clearly afraid of the parents and the boat captain noticed it. The brothers were huddled up together at the front of the boat on a cold day wearing shorts out on the sea for 7 hours and they very rarely budged or moved even when they got soaked by a wave. Even the behaviour of the parents tells you something was going on. In years prior to this Jose was all over his children constantly, they were always in his sight and he ordered every single move they made. Yet for some reason on this boat trip he is ignoring them for some reason. It's evident that something was happening in the family and the brothers were afraid.

@MummyBrown Місяць тому

AMÉN. Their own words from prison are also very telling. They’ve never been a problem in jail, quite the contrary. I recall an interview done with Lyle where he stated that prison was the first time he was able to sleep or feel safe. They don’t do many interviews. I think Eric has only done a couple the whole time. It’s mostly Lyle, but even then he hasn’t done many. I can see why his people wrote what they did to Scott. I think the major difference between people that “get it,” and those that don’t is that the former have been abused themselves. I have, I even had enabling family members so I fully understand the hate and anger. I don’t condone murder, but fuck Jose and Kitty. Good riddance, these were shitty people. That’s very telling.

@MummyBrown Місяць тому

@@YourEverydaySheep this is big in the argument about the legitimacy of true fear in a home where they were raised by a tyrannical father, confirmed by everyone that came into contact with Jose, and a cruel, alcoholic mother that took out her aggression on them because she blamed THEM for her life. That tidbit about Kitty was stated in testimony by her therapist where he also stated that she hated Lyle and Eric. People raised in love and safety have no right arguing the legitimacy of the fear that a grown person has due to being raised by highly terrifying caretakers. Psychologists speak of the importance of a child’s formative years and how that shapes them neurologically.

This one was horrible. Both victims were wounded multiple times and incapacitated before the fatal wounds. Kitty had blood stains on the soles of her shoes showing she was walking through blood after the shooting had started. One wound on her arm shows she was standing, moving her body when she was hit, but putting a hand up to defend against a shotgun.... An FBI forensic expert said the crime scene indicated a highly emotional state with no actual planning. Large numbers of shots were fired, without apparent targets. The shooting ended with the fatal shots, all the other injuries and gunshot wounds were inflicted before death.

Insightful. I get it about the "facts." Years ago I was a dispatcher for a utility company. Part of my job included monitoring the police and fire channels for struck poles and buildings on fire. It meant I had to be ready to send out a utility crew to shut off power and move wires when the police asked (had to wait for their call-when they were ready). One struck-pole accident resulted in an immediate, tragic death of a young person. The officers at the scene coded it immediately as a death. A ghoulish co-worker, who was not on call-duty, visited the accident scene then screamed at me the next day about the code, insisting that she was still alive and that I heard the wrong code. He later apologized, because I was right. I didn't want to fight about it. Just too awful. It was a sad call.

@YourEverydaySheep Місяць тому

Over kill in parricide cases involving abuse is very common. It's usually a combination of fear, anger and confusion. Dr Ann Burgess described it as being similar to when people have phobias of insects and they just keep swatting and hitting the insect even when it's clearly already dead.

@orvil9223 7 днів тому

Something apparently happened in their household, previously, that caused these two to become the sociopaths they turned out to be. I can't imagine two brothers both being psychopaths to the degree they were able to do this to their parents, and it just be coincidence.That doesn't even come close to making this ok, as they were plenty old enough to leave the home if they were that scared about being in harm's way. It may be the abuse that gave them the ability to do this, but, it isn't an excuse for it. Unless they have determined psychopathy and sociopathy are simply genetic, that's just my opinion. It also seems really strange that we never heard of any signs of them being cruel or showing any of these traits while growing up from childhood friends, acquaintences, etc.

About the jury excuse form- I must have filled out one of those; I don't really recall, but I was excused from the case after I heard they were going to sequester us. They were choosing two juries, I think- one for each defendant. What I remember for sure is the judge- was he the same guy from the Rodney King (cops) trial?- asking me who my boss was, and I told him "Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera" (animation studio producers) . I couldn't have asked for paid leave because I was only freelancing there at the time. I was afraid they were going to keep me on for that reason, as I technically wasn't employed full-time. I had also stated that I hadn't heard of the case, but after meeting the brothers I slowly recalled that I had read an LA Times Sunday piece on it only a week or so earlier, emphasizing the role of the psychiatrist's girlfriend.

Lyle started balding as a teenager most likely due to stress and abuse, Jose made him wear a hair piece because to him Lyle losing his hair messed with the image of perfection Jose was trying to have his family be. He also wanted to go into politics and to him Lyle being bald negatively impacted that.

I wish the other victims of their dad (menudo) would have come forward during the trial.

@myzacky96 Місяць тому

Your right, there were other victims beside the boys

@leheli7838 Місяць тому

I believe Menudo knew that if they came forward against Jose (and supported the Erik & Lyle), their career would be over. Interestingly enough, it was over anyway.

There werent any at the time. There was not much to fear if they were SA victims. Maybe public some embarrassment. To wait decades, before finally admitting such, makes it more difficult to prove it ever happened.

As someone who was a victim of child molestation, I always felt sorry for the Menendez brothers and the horrific childhood they had to endure and felt they should have received a lesser sentence.

I believe they are a lie. they were old enough to have a lot of proof but wants any. It does happen to lots of kids but not them they are guilty 😢

@lindabrennan4455 25 днів тому

@@sonyalynn4407 They are guilty of killing their parents but I believe the motivation behind the killings is the emotional, physical and sexual abuse they endured for many years. In my opinion there was plenty of evidence to substantiate their assertions. Lastly, and this is just my opinion and I don't mean it to come off as judgemental or cruel. They are both a little off which I believe is a result of their terrorized upbringing. The way they told their story of the abuse could not have been fake otherwise they both deserve an academy award.

Whether or not they were abused still does not excuse what they did. Ir was premeditated and brutal. They were adults and could have left and stood on their own 2 feet, got jobs serving coffee, coaching Kidd tennis. Moved to Alaska or somewhere else far away...the problem with these solutions is that the money would have been cut. They killed for money and maybe revenge because of the abuse.
