California judge rejects Menendez brothers’ request for new trial

Claims that brothers were sexually abused didn’t supersede ‘premeditation and deliberation’ of killings, says judge
Just stop trying and accept your sentences, you knew what you did. Screw your paroles, screw your new trials. Your story was full of shit back then and it is even more full of shit now.
I mean, being in prison, you don't have much else to do but keep fighting in court. Our legal system is a meat grinder, and our prisons are a horror show.
Can you explain why? I vaguely remember that it seemed plausible there were extenuating circumstances that were worth considering. Weren't they horribly horribly abused? Or is that the part you're calling bullshit?
I have listened to the Last Podcast on the Left coverage of these two. The brothers are full of shit.
Like, okay, they did put up with a lot of bullshit from their father and maybe select people in the family. But the sexual abuse thing was stretching it waaaaay too far. Not trying to justify their actions but there were so many other angles they could've picked, that were legitimate and stronger in defense than making up one out of no where.
