1. Is 26 years long enough?

One day our country will have to answer how long is adequate.

6. Interesting

I think it should depend on the type of murder.

8. For sure

I think case by case needs a review that is better then the current system of a parole board. I’m not advocating the brothers be released. But to question when the time for all criminals to be released taking community safety in huge priority. There may be cases where staying in jail is a waste of everyone’s time and money.

9. Well ... , now that you've brought it up, by Republicult standards they are qualified.

And, the cultists may very well believe that they can lock up the Hispanic/Latino vote.

7. Since when

does social media determine what happens in our justice system? Ignore these fools and let California decide.

14. There's evidence that the abuse was true

Not sure that excuses their murders, however.
