[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They murdered their parents because they are murderers, not because they were abused. Lots of people are abused and it doesn't make them kill their abusers. They were adults. They could have walked away or called the police. They could have written a tell-all. They could have said, "You're dead to me. I will never see or speak to you again." Instead they killed them. Because they are murderers.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone is arguing they shouldn’t have been convicted for murder. But jail is supposed to be both punitive and rehabilitative. They’ve served 30 years and they appear to be rehabilitated. So why are they still in jail? [/quote]

Agree

They served their time. They are not a threat to society.

There is Solid corroborating evidence that they were sexually molested by their dad. Who would not be messed up after living through such abuse by the people who supposed to protect you?

They have spouses who love them.

It is both inhumane and a waste of tax payers money to keep them in jail.

I agree with everything - except that they are not a threat to society. Are you sure? Would you want to be their neighbor? They murdered their parents. And couldn’t do the bare minimum to follow the rules and qualify for parole. The latter shows a lack of self control that is pretty damning in someone who has a violent past.

I don’t like our prison system and I agree their trial was flawed, but they should have followed the rules in prison.[/quote]

Their actions show they don't think rules apply to them. [/quote]
