I'm thinking the same thing. There seems to be nothing really as of yet. Just a few anomalies' but no real proof of anything even the coroner didn't really do much. I was hoping for some evidence of the trajectory of the bullet, toxin screen, etc. but instead got he was alcoholic and died of a gunshot wound to the eye , had a blood alcohol level slightly above legal driving limits (so if he was alcoholic he wouldn't even be tipsy) and I didn't move the bag (which btw I think he did). Oh and I agree where the hell are the fingerprints. I find that to one of the strangest & most incriminating things - you have to grip a gun pretty firmly to get a shot off.
This information in that article is new to me:
Absolutely, people often lie about cause of death when their loved one has committed suicide. Firstly, because it's private and none of their business, more importantly, because it upsets the people you tell, they don't know what to say to you, they gossip about it to others, all of which is very harmful to everyone involved. It's one of those white lies that keeps social/business relations running smoothly.
I think a minimum we're going to have Marlena's testimony, cell phone evidence tracking from Oakville to Maplegate at the time in question, and the fact that DM purchased the weapon. That combined with the fact that he didn't acknowledge either of those last two things in his interview is explainable in theory ("I was afraid to tell you those things","you didn't ask me directly","I didn't see my father when I went home in the middle of the night so it was technically true" etc.), but in practice they're also damning. The courts were spoiled by the insane glut of evidence in the first two trials because of how ridiculously deep DM and MS carved their electronic trail along the way. But not every case has that, and such a surplus of evidence is not the bar that has to be met, as I keep reminding myself. Lots of guys with motive, means and opportunity known to be at the scene of the "crime" and known to have been less than forthright can tell you from their prison cells that that's often enough to convict. Fingers crossed!
