Well it's California, they will be released.

Wonder if they are entitled to any benefits from their parents will.

Next excuse is they need to be released because they’re orphans…

Aw.... he has a medical condition.

So do I.

Does that mean I can murder someone and get off?

And his parents are still dead.

“””He has kidney stones”””

Gee, I hope he survives.

“Wonder if they are entitled to any benefits from their parents will.”

Typically, no.

There is typically something called the “Slayer Statute” that treats a murderer as having predeceased the victim.

That said, I believe the money went to the immediate family, who then promptly put it into a trust for the brothers, as they considered the murders justified, which tells you something about how crappy the parents were.

Well they gave their parents a medical condition that they didn’t recover from.

He presented a hand written notice from his parents, saying it would be ok.

Being a homicidal lunatic is ‘not’ a ‘medical condition’.

The Menendez should be permanently released to an insane asylum, then see how much they like their “freedom.”

No you wouldn’t be able to get off

But you’d be able to be up for resentencing and up for parole after like 20 years

Still doesn’t sound very appealling, don’t try it. :)

The parents weren’t the problem. They murdered their parents, collected the life insurance and went on a wild spending spree till they were caught.

I am confused about the need for release regardless of medical condition. In hospitals nation wide it is common for inmates to be treated medically for conditions the prison system can not treat. If they are potentially dangerous and an escape risk an armed officer will be in their room or outside the door. The most boring job in law enforcement to just sit there with your weapon. I always suspected this was punishment for the officer or just handed off to the new guys as the old guys hated it. I worked in hospitals for 26 years as a clinical pharmacist on the medical floors.

I was hospitalized a couple of years ago for pneumonia and a prisoner was next door. For days a cop sat outside and inside with his weapon and totally bored. The prisoner was not capable of fighting or fleeing. Regardless the cop was there. He enjoyed conversation.

If that scum bag Menendez needs medical treatment he will get it. He does not need release.

Why didn’t the AP article say that?

Is ‘dead’ a medical condition?
Sadly we can’t ask the opinion of their parents.

Geragos did not elaborate on the condition, but he said releasing Menendez was the “only fair and equitable thing to do” so he had time to prepare for his parole hearing properly.

Or delay his parole hearing a year.

I hope it's not hereditary.

Or don't I?

Umm, if all bodily organs quit working I guess that’d be a medical condition of some sort. :D
