[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is interesting to see how the generational tide has most recently turned.

I remember back in ‘89-early 90’s when the murders occurred (and afterward) many people shunned the brothers and thought they were lying about being abused.

They even accused them of using the “abuse excuse.”
People thought they should spend the rest of their lives behind bars and that was that.
Period.

However now a younger generation, many who were not even born when these crimes were actually committed are proponents for these brothers to walk free.

If it wasn’t for the Netflix drama, etc. along w/current social media trends no one would care about these guys.

And now some are even calling them hot…..??!
No one thought this when they were younger!!!!?[/quote]

Definitely a generational change for sure and one that I welcome - as an older person. I remember all the shame and blame media frenzy after the first trial of the M Brothers as well..

I also welcome the Me Too movement as long overdue. This generational shift does not mean that DV/ sexual violence and abuse occurs less frequently - but there is better understanding of how prevalent it is and how it can impact victims in different ways.

Dr Anne Burgess, the psyche nurse and forensic psychologist who created criminal profiling has been defending them since the beginning. She is a very wise and seasoned criminal psychologist.
