You are right Raven is a textbook sociopath. I believe 100% that Raven killed Janet and their unborn child.
Raven will
never confess. If it came to a confession and sparing his life, I doubt he would confess. He's a sociopath and cares more about what other's think of him. Lying and Denying are part of his nature and after four years we know this has no conscience.
I believe there is plenty of evidence to build a compelling case beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Perhaps the issue is with the case not being compelling to the State. All cases are up the discretion of the DA's office. Nifong was sworn into office the day after Janet was murder. If Nifong wasn't golfing, fund raising and campaigning on the clock, and put any sort of work on this case perhaps we wouldn't be sitting here 4 years later.
Politics, backlogs and campaigning

Durham, N.C. More than 19,000 warrants in Durham County will go unserved after the District Attorney's Office threw them out.
Authorities said some were too old and others weren't worth pursuing because the crimes were minor.
Durham had a backlog of more than 60,000 unserved warrants dating to 1977, and city and county officials have created a central office and computer system to help serving warrants.
Money and the political issues in Durham are what caused this case to stall. The State of North Carolina needs to get their act together and designate more funding to get these guys off the street.
Speaking of State of NC, if the Medical Examiner showed up at the scene of the crime and there was more $$ designated to funding that office perhaps this case would have been resolved by now. Same ME on Janet's case was the one that handled Michelle Young's case.
15 minutes to kill? It is my firm belief that Janet was murdered
BEFORE Raven went to soccer. That's what happens when you peform an autopsy nearly 48 hours AFTER a murder!
I agree if the District Attorney's office took it would be considered a CE case, it would also be considered a High Profile Case. I do believe that this case has not been compelling to the State nor to the DA's office because it's not a slam dunk, these cases are
never slam dunks, and they know that, so maybe it's just not compelling enough?
This case will cost a lot of money once the POI
is arrested. Right now, the DA's office is busy trying to fix their reputation that was completely wacked during Nifong's reign. Tracy Cline herself still has to deal with the criticizm that taints the office because she worked closely with Nifong. Durham DA's office is still dealing with the Nifong fall-out.
Oh yeah, in about two years there will be another election for DA. With election coming in less than two years for District Attorney again, either a high profile case is going to be exactly what Tracy Cline needs, or something she would refuse to take on.
Homicides by a significant other are the hardest cases to try because it's not what is found at the scene but what is NOT found at the scene. I also think these cases are on the rise and have a domino effect on other cases, and if you actually look at statistics, how many are UNSOLVED for the same reasons? These are CE cases and it's what is not at the scene of the crime vs. what is found at the scene of the crime! You just need someone qualified and with heart enough to handle these types of cases in the DA's office and funding!
I believe the murderer is running free because the POI is no longer in that state and the victim's family is not in the state. There was not enough National Media on the case also. It's just not compelling enough for anyone in the DA's office to take it or maybe nobody in Durham's DA is qualified to handle a case such as this. Maybe Durham feels it's not their problem anymore and are just sitting back waiting for this to kill again...and he will kill again!
I personally know plenty of ADA's that are qualified to take this to court and win this case, I would hope that there would be at least one or two in Durhams DA's office that can handle this case and I keep praying for someone that has the heart, smarts and courage to take on this case and the Will to Win!
IMO Durham funding and politics are the #1 reason this case has not come to a resolution, not the evidence nor lack of evidence on this case.
