Free the Menendez Two?

[britwrit]

So... apparently.... there's a good chance that the LA district attorney is going to move to cut short the sentences of Erik and Lyle Menendez sometime soon. Or at least according to the article I just read on Vanity Fair?

I'm not doubting this but it's weird. The only things I ever read about the case is that they were Evil Incarnate and that their story of being molested by their father (which could now spring them early) was BS.

In recent decades American society has been overrun by a belief that the legal principle of "presumption of innocence" means that anyone accused of any wrongdoing is always innocent and no amount of evidence to the contrary, including confessions or committing the crime in public, can ever prove otherwise.

Tell that to the 40% of the incarcerated African Americans. Yeah only for the whites.

Whenever I hear something about this case, I am reminded of the "other" "Menendez brothers," Danny Menendez and Jose Menendez Jr.



Though when looking this sketch up I was somewhat surprised to find that this is rather gauche now.

Last time I heard of those two was while the Spin Doctors were on the charts. Dang.

I don't think they're Two Princes, but I definitely enjoy the reference.
