Killing the parents in this case could only be justified if either/both parents were attacking the brothers . That was not the case .
These brothers had non violent options . They could have gone to the police . Or a church . Or therapist . Could have called sexual abuse hotline .They had $$$ and were not stupid there were plenty of options to get help including leaving that home . They chose none of those . Instead they chose violence . That was a poor choice .
Right or wrong society ( judge/jury ) determined they were guilty and their debt to society is life in prison without parole . I seriously doubt there is new evidence that proves they should be released . We will just have to wait and see .

I agree 100%. These monsters murdered their parents in cold blood. They came up with a plan to purchase shotguns with cash so they could not be tracked, attempted to create an alibi with the movie theater, then ruthlessly murdered their parents as the parents ate ice cream watching television in their own home. This is undeniable.
After the crime, both denied it and blamed it on mafia hitmen or some drug-related bad guy. They denied it until the evidence came in and the police focused on the brothers. They continued to deny involvement after splurging with luxury objects.
Both deserve the sentence they were given and should be happy that their money bought them their lives and they did not receive the death penalty.
