In Canada, the defence cannot concoct a story. In the US, the defence does sometimes concoct a story and no one seems to mind (see: Casey Anthony). I think it's fair to say that evidence that the victims are deceased is 100% confirmed. If there was even 1% doubt, police could not make an announcement that the victims are in fact deceased.
Everyone that has commented on this case on this forum should be disqualified from sitting on the jury for this trial.
Suddenly, LE has gone from having "no trace" of the victims, to having pieces of the victims that irrefutably prove death. If not B-lack, then W-hite.
We don't know what the evidence is, so I'm willing to admit publicly that "I don't know". It's much like the mechanism for admitting when you're wrong.
If the bodies are not found before the preliminary hearing or trial, proof of death and the evidence LE does have will most likely be the first pieces and arguments presented. If there is any weakness in it, you can bet there will be spirited cross from the defence. No, they can't just willy nilly make up stories, but they can question any probabilities if they exist. It is highly likely the bodies were removed in order to create this type of defence if there were future issues after the crime was committed.
Again, I don't know what the evidence is, so I feel the need to keep an open mind. If you have more detailed facts other than "they said so" then let's hear them, otherwise all I can say is "that's nice".
