Parent killer Menendez marries in Calif. prison

Elder brother exchanges vows with woman he’s known for 10 years

MSNBC: Lyle Menendez, who was convicted with his brother for the shotgun slayings of their parents, was married Thursday in a California prison.

"The second Menendez brother gets married in prison. No conjugal visits. Just a recognition that even parent-killers are human beings under the law. Menendez just got more rights in his relationship than all of the following:

Gloria Bailey, sixty years old, and Linda Davies, fifty-five years old, had been in a committed relationship for thirty years;
Maureen Brodoff, forty-nine years old, and Ellen Wade, fifty-two years old, had been in a committed relationship for twenty years and lived with their twelve year old daughter;
Hillary Goodridge, forty-four years old, and Julie Goodridge, forty-three years old, had been in a committed relationship for thirteen years and lived with their five year old daughter;
Gary Chalmers, thirty-five years old, and Richard Linnell, thirty-seven years old, had been in a committed relationship for thirteen years and lived with their eight year old daughter and Richard's mother;
Heidi Norton, thirty-six years old, and Gina Smith, thirty-six years old, had been in a committed relationship for eleven years and lived with their two sons, ages five years and one year.

And millions more."
