The Mendendez Brothers

topic posted Mon, February 26, 2007 - 5:20 AM by  Druben
Remember them? They were the boys that killed their parents. That case has always fascinated me because it was like a greek tragedy. Were these boys justified (as the defense was at pains to prove) because of incredible abuse? Or were these just rich kids that wanted their parents money? What could induce someone to murder thier parents?

    I think it was just a sick twisted household that never justified the murders. Very sad. I don't know if it comes close to Caligula......but something like that?

    Has anyone felt that a family member wanted to kill them? I had a very paranoid experience when I was staying in my parents house when they were gone and I felt a strong sense that my father had hired someone to kill me and had gven then keys. Of course, nothing happened but later events showed that my father did commit some acts against me (fraud, embezzlement) so I probably was picking up on something. So I have been fascinated by inner family crimes.
