Totally agree. Belittle our views that are largely rooted in facts, to THEN follow it up with completely erroneous rumor about family members selling off household items for financial gain. You lose a great deal of credibility going in directions that have zero viability or value.
A few examples, in no particular order, original quotes without authors' names,
based on which I made the comment (multi quotes not working, besides, I don't pay attention to authors, only the comments themselves. I don't follow a particular member, so I probably liked and unliked some same people):
==============================================
"I think he has been accused of Domestic Violence in the past. That is not that much of a different nature. And also of financial crimes, also a similar nature. To me, it just shows what his way of thinking and doing is like."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's not forget that CM spent years in prison. He very well knows how to "deal" with LE, he even wanted to represent himself in this case as well. He knew that if he didn't seem "interested" about their disappearance, it would have been a "red flag" to LE, as in, what is he trying to hide?, IMO."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"I’m going to sound like a lawyer trying to have it both ways:
1: I don’t think we know that he passed a lie detector test.
2: Sociopaths are good at passing lie detector tests, even when they’re lying."
------------------------------------------------------------------
"I just wanted to say his mentioning his girlfriend as his wife, kids he is a little "partial" about, health requiring no jail time—all stuff to make the cops think he would have never done this and keep him out of jail is what it sounds like, trying to paint himself as a good person? He did stuff like this in the years leading up to the trial, his stupid stall tactics, crocodile tears and "can't you see my puppy eyes" & "I'm wrongly accused" type look."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Does anyone think Chase’s internet searches for what kids need to travel to Mexico might be related to Chase taking off with his own kids? Disappearing with kids where no child support would be necessary? What ages were his children then? TIA!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Not from Hawaii, he couldn’t."
=================================================
I have followed this case from day 1, it brought me to Websleuths. My career and personal way of decision making is analytical. This is the only case where I have encountered intimidation when stating my opinion. I stopped participating (along with a few of the other long time posters) when we were harassed for holding differing opinions. I came back because I want to hear and see all of the evidence in order to determine guilt. I refuse to pronounce CM guilty, partially guilty or not guilty until I weigh the evidence for myself. There are definitely issues that trouble me. Some of them are not allowed to be discussed here because we are a family friendly website. The fact that JM's brother took the computers out of the home and had to be ordered to return them raises doubt regarding information on them that may have been compromised. I have similar concerns regarding the fact that family entered the home, prior to an official investigation, and cleaned up (including throwing out trash). I'm waiting to see the "proof" that DK was in Hawaii on the specific date of the murder(s). I'm also interested in finding out more about exactly how angry the sheet metal company was regarding EIP.
^^^ Thanks for this comment.
