Evidence of sexual abuse, or the boys' accounts of it? The problem is that they were/are serial liars. It's hard to know what to believe. Now one of them is coming out and claiming his mom sexually abused him too? They know the case for murdering mom was weak so they're now embellishing it. We also have no idea what the extent of the abuse was or whether the mom actually knew about it. Once more we only have their (unreliable) word for this. Do I believe they grew up in a horrible home? Yes. Do I believe every word that comes out of their mouths? No, not even close.
I agree with a PP this was vengeance not self-defense. Because they are untrustworthy narrators who continue to break the rules, I also agree they should stay where they are.

Imagine how many babies 60 year old Lyle could sire with his 20 year old GF. And of course they'd be feted on the cover of People!

but
they murdered them in cold blood, in a pre-mediated act
then they showed no remorse whatsoever and went on a spending spree
this is the behavior of a callus serial killer

Erik and Lyle were looked at as victims, until they were seen spending a ton of $$.
New cars, expensive watches, clothes, etc.
They also acted very cocky and arrogant onscreen too.
Sure they were young at the time, but still?!
Then to hear them weeping over how they used shotguns on their parents due to self defense, that they feared their Father was going to kill them, blah blah blah.
There are no witnesses to testify that they heard their Father threaten to kill them nor is there any written threat that he intended to do so.
If Erik and Lyle were truly in fear for their lives - they were old enough to move out and live on their own.
Killing their parents as a form of self defense makes no sense imo.
Plus these murders were very premeditated, all the planning beforehand was very intentional.
I mean they drove over 2+ hours to San Diego to purchase the firearms!!
I think the self defense angle does have problems. But I really could not give af that a pedophile (because you are glossing over that he had other victims besides the people who murdered him) is dead and they’re spending his money.
But his dad was a victim too and we’re getting to the point of saying victims aren’t responsible for their actions. What the brothers did was vengeance, not self defense.
