If the pen captured that altercation, I have no doubt it would have been played in court. It couldn’t have.
I’m not concerned if Barry did or did not have an affair, as that doesn’t affect motive. Suzanne’s affair may have played a role, but I think divorce played a bigger one.
The sheets may have already been in the wash, which would make them irrelevant. They didn’t come from the master bedroom, so I just don’t see their relevance.
Barry made up an insane/illegal story to explain the tranquilizer, so I think it just has to factor in. His phone calls and texts to Suzanne minutes before arriving home, tell me that he may have stopped to load the dart, and had a limited time window.
I think his plan was to shoot Suzanne, and kill her quickly in a relatively bloodless way. Things went awry, and the one thing he didn’t want to happen happened, she scratched him.
I have no reason to believe chlorine does factor in at this point, but I’m open to it. We just haven’t heard anything convincing.
As for the domestic violence, there does seem to be some evidence of that. I’ve seen enough to show me that Barry was controlling, and highly manipulative (childish suicidal threats).
His interviews with Grusing in regards to how he would respond to divorce, say it all.
