Summary

What happens when a case from decades ago suddenly looks entirely different under today's lens? The Menendez brothers’ resentencing hearing, now slated for January, brings renewed attention to allegations of abuse against Jose Menendez, including shocking claims from a former Menudo member. Once dismissed, these allegations are now being reconsidered in the context of societal changes in how we address and acknowledge abuse, particularly against young boys.

Shavaun Scott, psychotherapist and author, delves into why abuse, especially same-sex abuse, was shrouded in secrecy and shame in the 1990s. Were boys dismissed more than girls, and did societal taboos surrounding masculinity and homosexuality contribute to the silence? And how does understanding these patterns today change the way we perceive the brothers’ actions and their ongoing fight for freedom?

Is it possible for justice to evolve decades after the fact?
