This was obviously so embarrassing for him to admit, because, as in many, many sexual victims, he thinks it his fault. No wonder he asked his brother not to disclose any of this before the trial. Look at his face, his tears, he can hardly testify. he is even admitting molesting his own brother, because that's what he learned from his own abuser. Now that there's another victim, I hope he and his brother's cases are going to be revisited and give them the freedom they deserve.

That people said/say this was all fake is insane. The way he’s struggling to contain his crying and making as little sound as possible while tears stream down his face - that’s the opposite of fake crying

[Filmfanatic]

I honestly believe them, nobody kills their parents like that for no reason. That was a rage, hurt and fed up murder

[sam_taylor]

All the emotion and psychological pain that you can feel on the room .. CAUSE OF THE EVIL FATHER.. And still they end it up On jail for being abused … UNBELIEVABLE

[americansunbeam]

These men should be out of prison. These parents were monsters.

[Malina-djwg]

😢😢😢. If he is faking he deserves an academy award You can tell he is very uncomfortable talking about the abuse he suffered!!! IF YOU watch the whole trial they had family members uncles and aunts and cousins that suspected abuse ... He even told a cousin who testified that he knew about the I believe them!! It's insane that they are still in prison!!!

[wendysullivan]

Absolutely heartbreaking and engaging. These two should not be in jail.

[BAEYBE]

how can u harm a child let alone your own child this is sick sick behavior.

Dude didnt it just come out that a member of Menudo was r*ped by the father? Its so clear he was a sadistic monster and these boys were simply fed up. And if their testimony is fake, they should have applied to the Academy for a dang Oscar 30 years ago because this is better than any acting I've ever seen. I've watched multiple body language experts analyze their testimonies and they all unequivocally say they're being truthful. And Erik's testimony is absolutely heartbreaking. There's no way both brothers could be at this level of acting prowess. If so, they should get a contract with Netflix themselves fr...I think there was just so much shame involved in this situation. The incest aspect, the mother knowing and not doing anything, the fact they were boys getting assa*lted at the height of gay panic...no wonder they never told anyone. It also has to be so confusing to love your father and want to please him while simultaneously being tortured by him. They should be free. 😢

[gisellesayers]

You cannot fake this kind of behavior. This is a real victim. Looks like the only justice for victims is when they are dead. Miscarriage of justice

[Kaleighboo]

So if Erik is having a full blown panic attack, when his brother is testifying, his brother is crying how is that fake explain

[thesehandzworksbykimonekla]

Based on the crime scene photos they really wanted them dead that’s not just about money

[paigedavis]

this is so fucking heartbreaking to watch you can 100% see how embarrassing and how hard it is to talk about for them. you can’t fake behavior like this. they need to be free already. complete self defense! 😭💔

[CRion]

Poor baby, this hurts my heart so bad

[kelseyrobinson]

they really deserve to be free this is so upsetting .

[marcelagomez]

So awful. Poor guys. Their own father did that to them. Disgusting and disturbing. Extreme mental and psychological damage

[aidenmorris]

what an unreal 10 minutes in a courtroom. and what an unreal case. spoiled, manipulative who cares. these guys never had a chance anyway. free them.

[louissmith]

Jose and Kitty Menéndez were evil. Set them free.

[norwegiansniper]

They should be moved from prison to a psychiatric facility

[nehattahsin]

they deserve the chance to be free and live out the rest of their lives in peace.
