Alex and Derek King, the two young boys that murdered their father, have been released from jail, after 8-years of incarceration.
A neighbor that befriended the boys, who is a registered sex offender, previously convicted of molesting other boys, was also imprisoned as a result of the trial, sentenced to 35-years in prison, for his role in the murder.
Alex and Derek have since been placed with other families, not maintaining any contact with their mother, who is a stripper.
The two have found it difficult to obtain work, due to their felony convictions, but attend university in the hope that one day they will be able to obtain gainful employment.
God can forgive them for what they did, if they ask and change their ways and they also need to forgive themselves.

Find out the astonishing turns their lives have taken. Both brothers sit down with NBC's Keith Morrison to speak out in their very first interviews as adults.
