Not convinced the Menendez Bros. killed their parents. They supposedly shot them in the knees to make it look like a Mafia killing. Well I believe it was the Mafia. Their grandfather in Cuba was a soccer star and I believe he may have been Mafia and they were very well off. When Cubans left and came to the US, they received a lump sum payment. Not much but something. They moved to NJ which is another Mafia infested place. When he worked for the film industry we have to know there was mafia involved. Maybe the boys were even MK Ultra, who knows. They never had committed any act of violence either. All of what happened could have been played out by the Mafia and the Movie Syndicate. Maybe the Mother was getting ready to spill the beans about the boys being raped by either their father or who he was pimping them out to. Who knows. It all looks very fishy to me and I agree about how the trial went as well. It just seemed to well oiled. Bang Bam Boom this court and that court and it was all over. All according to plan, imo. Well that is my take so far. I will continue.

Just for the sake of clarifying, pretty sure the story goes along the lines of a single close-range shotgun shot to the head for daddy-dearest, then mummy-dearest was shot several times with said shotgun as she tried to escape, to the point of barely resembling a human.

At this stage, given their claims of a lifetime of abuse, I'm not ruling out that they're telling the truth and that one or both brothers pulled the trigger; if the claims of abuse are true, it's very clear that the brothers were rail-roaded(or whatever the term) in court.

Whatever the case, what's blatantly apparent to me with regards to the Menendez case, is another high-profile killing(complete with millions at stake in a will) with some on-the-nose hurricane relations, seems to connect to a larger puzzle of hurricanes and corruption abroad - up to and including Mafia connections via Jimmy Hoffa et al.

Interestingly, the only people able to give an account of what happened on the night of José's and Mary's deaths, are the now currently incarcerated brothers, who, again, have been repeatedly denied the right to be heard in court on the grounds of Habeus Corpus...

It's worth briefly looking into the origins of Habeus Corpus, see American Revolution and/or slavery.

I can certainly understand why they would have committed such a crime of hate if they had been abused most of their lives, but why railroad them. Were they deprived of the family fortune? Did someone else profit from it? Possibly that is why they are incarcerated for their lifetime. Could someone have been after that money? I wonder if they receive any of it. I will check on the Habeus Corpus.

Railroading them was to discredit any accusations made by them against their parents. I'm unsure exactly where the will fits into things, but, apparently one of the brothers(Joseph (Lyle)?) admitted to a friend later, that he had deleted an updated version of the father's will, which had not yet been ratified?

If the allegations of abuse are true, discrediting the case would also discourage/discredit any attempts to connect the parents and the Cuban Revolution(and thus, the CIA) with each other and then on to even broader fuckery.

It's street magic, you're made to watch one hand, while the other picks your pocket without your realizing.

So possibly the railroad was for the purpose of deterring a connection with the Cuban Revolution and/or the CIA. And maybe the Mafia which was already in control of almost everything in Cuba.

This is incredibly plausible. Indeed, it almost seems the most logical explanation at this point.

I am certain this does not surprise you, as it does not me either. It would be interesting to find the names of the parents of Jose Menendez and see if his father was connected as well.

That's definitely an angle I'm hoping to address at some point, even Mary's parents may have their own involvement or shady dealings, perhaps an 'arranged' marriage of sorts? (just speculating there)
