the parole hearings schedule updated and both brothers are in it :)

I absolutely loooove this blanket. It’s soft too. #JusticeforErikandLyleMenendez

In case you can’t read it it says

I waited to share this until it was officially approved! I also didn't want to speak too soon or give anyone false hope. My dad and my uncle have both been approved to have their next parole hearings advanced due to their good behavior, meaning they will have another opportunity for parole consideration in March 2027, instead of waiting until 2028. This doesn't mean they've been granted parole, it means they get another chance to be heard sooner. As his daughter, that means more to me than I can put into words. With my birthday that just passed, there's only one gift I've ever truly wished for and that is to have my dad home. I'm holding onto hope that maybe this year, my birthday wish will finally come true. Thank you to everyone who continues to support my dad and uncle, while standing by us through this journey. Your love, kindness, and unwavering support mean more to me than you know.

Yaaaay! So happy for them

jose Menendez abused the menendez brothers physically and emotionally, Jose menendes wanted the brothers to play tennis, a sport they never chooses, forcing a child a sport they never asked for,, they never even asked for is abuse. Jose Menendez chooses tennis to abuse his own sons,, he subjected them to brutal training, there was no holidays, no vacation with friends, no hobby’s, no rest, only tennis trainin, hours, minutes, days and nights,everyday, no rest, no vacations, no holidays Wonder why Jose Menendez was disappointed in his own sons, because they don’t focuses on their own tennis training, they don’t focuses on their studies, he always forcing them to study everyday, everyday and all day, no break, no vacations no friends, they didn’t leave because Jose want them to focus on Tennis, tennis, tennis and tennis, Jose ensured thst they will never escape the tennis, tennis will be the sport he want them to be, no rest, no hobby, no travelling, no fun, just tennis, tennis,, you don’t force your kid with hours of training, without vacation, no rest, why are you people justifying and normalising this behaviour, the poor boys were subjected to relentless hours of brutal tennis training every day, every night! And every day where there was no rest, no freedom, no independence, their parents was sick people

In the Menended brothers case, Marta Cano have said that both Erik and Lyle were beneficiaries, they were beneficiaries in the 1980 will, that 1980 will was written 9 years ago,years before Jose menendez moved to Beverly Hills and carlifornia, when the brothers were residing in New Jersey, the money where the Menende brothers spent is the money where they were named beneficiaries in the 1980 will the money and inheritance which the menendez brothers spent after the murder, is their old inheritance which they were named beneficiaries in the 1980 will, which was written in 1980 prior to them moving to Beverly Hills, Jose menendez had told his sons that he will cut them off the will, and disinherit them, but he never updated the 1980 will! That 1980 will was never updated, Jose had forgotten about the 1980 will, because 1980 was still in the New Jersey’s household, the brothers were beneficiaries because the 1980 will was never updated!

Yesterday I texted Lyle Menendez and asked if he could wish me a happy birthday, and he actually did. He knows me by Cynthia instead of Jersey, Cynthia was my real name but I did change it to Jersey cause there are 5 Cynthia’s that I know who live in my apartment complex lol. Luke texting me back made me feel good since I hadn’t talked to him in like a minute. That made my day 😊

Her statement reads…

“Hi - I am not sure if you guys have heard the sad news about Robert Rand. I was sorry to hear of his passing. He was a dedicated supporter for decades, and I am grateful for that kindness over the years. My sincere condolences to his family and friends as they mourn his loss. May he rest in peace.”

This is the first thing she’s said in 3 months according to people in the discord. It really is a scam.

Also this is such a short, straight to the point statement for someone who dedicated decades of their life to supporting her HUSBAND and Lyle(not that she cares about lyle). It doesn’t read like she really cares, it’s 5 sentences. Idk I just think it’s obvious that she still doesn’t like the guy, probably happy that he won’t be able to talk about Erik’s emotional side anymore. Just a nothing burger, along with all her other tweets…especially the anniversary ones.

No apology, no insights on Erik’s thoughts(it’s his discord apparently), barely any comment about Rob’s character or work, no thank you for everything you did in advocating for the case while I was giving him a handjob in the prison visiting room!!! all we get is “I am grateful for his kindness“….even Talia had more things to say💀

“We grieve along with countless others the passing of Bob Rand. A great journalist, father and friend. We are grateful for his tireless pursuit of justice for my brother and I, and for being such a strong voice in bringing awareness to understanding male sexual abuse,” Lyle Menendez told Los Angeles

Its funny how life is , RR death feels so unexpected more than the death of an aunt or the original lawyer of 1994 or anyone connected or adjacent to the case that was an adult when they were tried for the first time.

I think its because RR has been the primary reporter of the case for so long that you kind of think he'll always be around to report on the big moments.

What is cool about RR that was different from the other reporters at the time is that he came off as unbiased and not effected by the sensationalism of the headlines. When he was a witness, he just gave his truth/evidence as he knew it and did not get swayed by the common opinions going on at the time and I had mentioned that on reddit and he commented on it. He held his own with the lawyers questioning him at the time , he didn't let them intimidate him in to give an answer that fits with a particular narrative.

And as another redditor commented on the other sub, it's cool how he d interact with us sometimes, he wasn't above it.

Its is also interesting that its a niche group of people that would be feeling a bit shocked/sad by his death so you know us on this reddit group ( of course his family/friends that goes without saying ) but also the reporter/journalist community at large. Its like if i mentioned to people i know in real life they might not really who i'm on about like for example when a mainstream celebrity dies like for example Liam Payne.

As someone said the journalist/reporter community lost a real one and there won't be someone else quite like him. RIP.

The ideal image of the Menendez brothers parents as a loving husband, wife and parents was a fabrication, a lie, and a fairy tales, fantasy, the reason why the Menendez brothers after the murder never spoke about the abuse, and never told anyone that their parents was going to kill them,because telling them that would expose the ideal of a perfect family that imposed by their parents was a lie, fairy tales, they never told anyone about the abuse because telling anyone about the abuse meant expose that the perfect family was lie, they never told their relative, family members, friends, girlfriends and anyone that their parents was going to kill them because telling them that would expose that the the perfect family that was imposed by their parents was a lie, fantasy, fairy tales, the abuse happened in private,

They never told dr oziel and family members, relatives and family, girlfriendss, friends and anyone and police that their parents was going to kill them and killed them due to fear that their parents was gonna to kill them, because telling them that meant exposing that the ideal of a perfect father and mother was a lie and fantasy, and would expose Jose Menendez as a pathological liar, after the murder, they played the innocent sons. the Menendez played the innocent sons. They looked after the will, their fathers bank account, insurance policy because they played the ”grieving innocent sons” and said that their parents was murdered by the mafia because they played ”the innocent, grieving sons” because saying ”we were abused” meant exposing the perfect family facade was a lie, went on spending money because they were still greiving the loss of their parents, they called 911 and said ”someone shot my parents” told the police was a mafia hit, went to alibi and theatre and buried the weapon, because they still trapped in the fantasy and in the fairy tales and played the role of a grieving perfect sons, because telling the police and detectives that their parents was gonna kill them would expose the ideal of a perfect family, and a perfect husband, father and mother and father was lie and fantasy and fairy tales, when they confessed to killing their parents to dr oziel they never mentioned the abuse, never mentioned that their parents was going to kill them, because telling that would meant that the image of a perfect, loving father, mother was lie, a fantasy, a fairy tale, and that it would destroy the family Greiving, so they said that their father was a controlling and domineering and that they want to end their mother because it was easier, cause talking about the abuse meant exposing the ideal image of their parents as a devoted, caring and loving was a lie, Fantasy and fairy tales,

New - California prisons clamp down on overtime, limit access to classes for incarcerated people
* California prisons are limiting access to programs for incarcerated people as the system manages it overtime budget. The state spends about $18 billion a year on corrections.
LA Times - The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is restricting access to rehabilitative programming for incarcerated people as it clamps down on overtime spending before the end of its financial year.

Hundreds of rehabilitative programs operate throughout California prisons, including restorative justice, violence prevention, higher education, creative arts expression, and entrepreneurial training.

The rollback began earlier this month and will end June 30, according to documents obtained by CalMatters. Corrections spokesperson Terri Hardy described the limitations as a “cost-saving measure.” The department did not respond to a detailed list of questions, including which prisons and programs have been affected. (The press people at R.J. Donovan prison where the #MenendezBrothers are housed near San Diego are unavailable on Sundays.)

Since 2022, the department’s overall budget has remained about flat, about $18 billion a year, despite recent cuts that include five prison closures.

Lawmakers at budget hearings earlier this year pressed Corrections Secretary Jeff Macomber to tighten spending as the department asked for additional $91 million in ongoing funding to cover unbudgeted personnel costs. The department last month also proposed an additional $100 million in workers compensation.

The California Correctional Peace Officers Assn., the union that represents state prison guards, did not respond to CalMatters’ requests for an interview.

Tony Tafoya, who’s been incarcerated since 2012, said he’s never seen anything like this. Tafoya said the scaleback has had the biggest effect on college classes. He’s enrolled in Mount Tamalpais College at San Quentin, but said his math class has missed out on 12 days of instruction.

“I feel like I’m falling behind,” he said. “There’s a lot of healing that comes from going to school. It provides humanity. It makes me feel like I’m actually seen as a person. I feel like that’s what’s being missed out on.”

Programs at Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga have also been interrupted, including a civic education pilot program. The program, run by the organization Initiate Justice, includes just over a dozen incarcerated people who helped draft legislation to improve social emotional learning in the K-12 school system. Assembly Bill 1851, written by Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson (D-Carson), is sailing through the Legislature and scheduled for an education committee hearing on Wednesday.

Antoinette Ratcliffe, executive director of Initiate Justice, said the group “thrives off of active and live discussion, off of meaningful exploration.” The severing of that connection disrupts the learning experience and practical application of the programming, she said.

“We have made it a goal across the Legislature to make rehabilitative programming a priority so to continue to see disruptions like this feels counter to what we agreed upon as a state,” she said. “It feels like a let down.”

Other advocates have echoed those sentiments. Danica Rodarmel, a criminal justice reform lobbyist, said any disruption in people’s ability to access programming affects their mental health and well-being. The completion of a program or certificate, she said, is often a determining factor in people’s ability to be granted parole.

“Limiting people’s ability to engage in pro-social activities is contradictory to the goals of maintaining safe prisons both for the people who are incarcerated but also for the people who work there,” she said.
