Exactly.

"Darin and Darlie Routier were happily married with three young children, living in an upscale suburb of Dallas, Texas. But one night in 1996, Darlie and her two sons were stabbed in their own home. Darlie says that she fought off the intruder, who escaped from the house after brutally attacking her and killing her two children. She had bruises and stab wounds on her forearms and neck. But police soon became suspicious of the mother. Bloodstains invisible to the eye were found in and around the sink indicating a clean-up of the crime scene. Then Darlie’s fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. She convicted of murder and sits on death row for a crime she says she did not commit. Now, new evidence suggests that not only may Darlie be innocent, but her husband, Darin, might be the one responsible for the murders."
WTF? Sounds like it was directed by Mama Darlie.

Hi
They said in the show Darins hair was on the knife?Do you know what else they said on this?

What did everyone think of the show? Just curious of everyone's opinions.
The best thing about this was her comment about Darin. Maybe now he will realize his butt is firmly under the bus and he had better start turning the tables.
A husband or wife CAN testify against each other voluntarily. They can't be MADE to if they don't want to testify. At least that's how I thought if worked.Maybe the reason he hasn't filed for divorce is because isn't there a law stating that a husband/wife can't testify against their wife/husband?

Agreed. The only new thing I heard was Darlie's comment about not going back to Darin if she were set free.
What makes that particularly interesting is (correct me if I'm wrong on this) that they are still married. Has Darin "faithfully" stood by his woman (at least in public) because he believes in her innocence or because he knows that Darlie could at the very least implicate him in a cover up?
By saying that she wouldn't go back to Darin, are Darlie and company setting the stage for a last ditch attempt to save her?

Hi
I am reading this case and am I right to assume they convicted Darlie on her own words she touched the knife.There were no prints on the knife?Darlies prints were not on the knife?I really do not see where there is a case here against her.I'm sorry.
suzanne
I think that he "faithfully" stood by his woman because, as he said, he doesn't want to change places with her and she's the only one who can accomplish that. He's hiding something and she knows what it is. Only she can put him in prison and only he can guaranty her a trip to the gurney. If she's granted a second trial and he testifies against her, he may end up in prison as an accompliss, but she's gonna die.
The only thing I can't quite understand about all of this is, if Darlie "has" something on Darin (and I agree with you -- I think she does), what does she gain by keeping her mouth shut? She doesn't strike me as the kind of person who is dripping with altruism and kindness.
The only motivation for her silence I can think of would be so that Drake still has a daddy. But that strikes me as kind of lame, given the fact that she's convicted of killing her other two children.
Any thoughts?
Well, she can't implicate Darin without saying exactly what her part in all this was.
