This thread is part of a chain of research and potential leads/connections with regards to political/spiritual corruption seemingly rooted in Wisconsin:

1. Stretching: Ed Gein, August Kreis III, Wisconsin: I smell a connection
2. Possible WI lead: The Walter Brewing Company; Prohibition
3. Kurt Cobain: Afflicted, possible pizzagate/Wisconsin: Manson Family: Walter Brewing
4. Jimmy Hoffa: Courtney Love: Kurt Cobain: WI root of 'evil'
5. Menéndez Killers: Part of a series on political/spiritual corruption seemingly rooted in Wisconsin < You are here

The purpose of this series, is, if nothing else, to document potential connections that bizarrely morbid murders/serial-killings seem to now share with political corruption, given the abstract and practical angles of investigation which suit the pizzagate theme; ritualistic/power-oriented abuse/trafficking of persons young or otherwise, including abstract methods of communication between those who seek to abuse power gained by nefarious means.

I was prompted to look into the Menéndez case after seeing that a tv-spot regarding the same, is to be played on Australian TV very soon - air date/time eluded me, sorry.

Joseph Lyle Menéndez (born January 10, 1968) and Erik Galen Menéndez (born November 27, 1970) are American brothers from Beverly Hills, California, who were convicted in a high-profile trial in 1994 for the 1989 murder by shotgun of their wealthy parents, entertainment executive José and his wife, Mary ("Kitty").

During the trial, the brothers claimed that the murders stemmed from years of sexual and psychological abuse that they had suffered at the hands of their parents. The juries deadlocked in both trials, but in their retrials, the juries both rejected the defense's claim. The brothers received the sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Appeals

On February 27, 1998, the California Court of Appeals upheld the murder convictions, and on May 28, 1998, the Supreme Court of California voted to uphold the murder convictions and the life-without-parole sentences, with none of the Supreme Court justices voting to review the case.[15]

Both brothers filed habeas corpus petitions with the Supreme Court of California, which were denied in 1999. Having exhausted their appeal remedies in state court, the brothers filed separate habeas corpus petitions in the United States District Court. On March 4, 2003, a magistrate judge recommended the denial of the petitions.[citation needed] The district court adopted recommendation. The brothers then appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On September 7, 2005, a three-judge panel issued their ruling affirming the denial of both brothers' petitions for habeas corpus.[16]

Despite contention of their claims of a lifetime of emotional/sexual abuse at home, the brothers maintain their story today and have been repeatedly denied the legal opportunity to assert claims of wrongful detention in a court of law. Could be that they're telling the truth?

Has all the hallmarkers of corruption on many levels, apparently culminating in the usual murder and/or suicide - it also suddenly strikes me as weird that so many other high profile murder cases were popping up all over the country at the time the brothers' case was to be among the first televised court cases on US television... possible distractions from the Menéndez case?

Still processing, expect updates.

Only doing one round of pings this time, those of you pinged, feel free to grab the attention of others.
