They Discussed:
Thanks to a new Netflix series the Menendez brothers, (the murderous siblings who viciously shot both of their parents in the back of the head as they were sitting on the family couch and then went on a $700,000 spending spree), are back in the media spotlight. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Rosie O’Donnell are publicly calling for their release while the Los Angeles district attorney has announced he will review the case and new evidence pointing to their alleged sexual abuse to determine if he thinks the brothers should be resentenced or released. “I’m a strong believer in if you do the crime, you do the time.” Says producer, attorney and entertainment executive Warren D. Robinson. “I think people get caught up in the celebrity of this case and don’t know the full details. This was a premeditated, ruthless killing of two people. They were defenseless at the time, shot in the back of the head, him seven times her a total of ten. When they saw their mother wasn’t dead, they reloaded their guns, stood over her bullet riddled body and shot her in the face, yet we want to release them back into society?” Robinson acknowledges new found evidence of sexual abuse towards the brothers from their father but says that doesn’t justify double murder. “As horrible as that is, legally it doesn’t justify murder. It doesn’t make this self-defense or manslaughter. My fear is this will start a trend of murders trying to reduce their sentences or reduce their culpability because of life traumas and that is something we should all fear.”
According to a statement, “Entertainment executive and producer, Warren D. Robinson believes that when organizations are willing to have open and honest conversations about race and their own bias they can commit to meaningful change. We have seen this recently in the form of Hollywood award shows, particularly, the Grammys and the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Recording Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have both taken concrete steps to diversify their ranks and address inherit biases in their voting processes. As a result we have the most diverse crop of award winners/nominees, respectively, we’ve ever seen. Contrast that with the scandal and production shutdown currently at CBS’s The Talk, which resulted because a co-host was unable to properly engage in a conversation about race, address her own bias and commit to doing better. ‘The key part to every conversation’ Warren says, ‘starts with listening. Listening and hearing are different and if you are unable to listen then you are unable to have a conversation.’
