The Menendez brothers got a major break from a California judge this week. After 35 years in prison for butchering their wealthy parents, these convicted killers might walk free thanks to soft-on-crime policies. A liberal judge slashed their life sentences, ignoring prosecutors who warned the brothers still won’t admit the full truth about their bloody 1989 crime spree.
Relatives cried in court, begging for mercy. These same family members forget José and Kitty Menendez – the real victims shotgunned in their Beverly Hills mansion. While left-wing activists push “rehabilitation,” the parents’ graves get no visits from these suddenly caring cousins.
Prosecutors exposed the killers’ recent jailhouse crimes – sneaking cellphones and failing psychological tests. But woke judges don’t care about dangerous behavior. They’d rather coddle murderers than protect law-abiding citizens.
The brothers’ slick lawyer Mark Geragos shamelessly claimed gender bias. “If these were sisters, they wouldn’t be locked up!” he told cameras. This is the same elites’ justice that lets violent criminals roam streets while persecuting political enemies.
Outgoing DA George Gascón started this travesty, pushing to reduce sentences before leaving office. His radical agenda puts criminals first – a pattern seen in cities nationwide where Democrats let murder rates skyrocket.
Through crocodile tears, the brothers finally “took responsibility” after three decades of lies. Their scripted apologies fooled no one who remembers their spending spree with dead parents’ money days after the murders.
This case shows everything wrong with America’s justice system. Wealthy killers get second chances while working-class families suffer. Real justice would’ve kept these spoiled brats behind bars where they belong.
California’s parole board must now decide. Will they side with victims’ rights or continue the left’s dangerous experiment emptying prisons? Hardworking Americans know the answer – but in Biden’s America, common sense lost long ago.
