Hi everyone
Can someone please point me in the direction of any new threads on Darlie? (sorry If I am posting in wrong place)
I am new to Web Sleuths and in Australia.. I saw a show on her a week ago called "On death row" I have since been reading as much as I can on this woman, watching youtube and reading some of the transcripts.. its fascinating..
I believe our version of the death row show was quite different to the American version.. Darlie talks about life in prison a bit more.. that she gets to watch tv, because she works. I found her behaviour odd.. she talks really slowly and dramatically pauses before she answers. I'm not a mother.. but if I were her, even 19 years later.. I would use any media attention possible to be telling people that the killer is still at large.. find him etc etc???
I believe she is guilty.. but like everyone.. have quite a few unanswered questions.
In particular, what was Darrin's involvement? (if any), and the sock?, and lack of motive? bother me. Also I read her court transcript and she reads her diary entries.. her entries do not sound like an evil woman at all.. quite the opposite... she speaks of her love for her sons and Darin a lot. Also neighbours like the 12 year old girl (Rebecca?) were over at her place all the time.. if she was such a horrible person.. I'm sure this young girl would not want to be anywhere near her. I have concluded (my opinion only) that she planned on killing her boys and then herself that night.. but she couldn't go through with her own suicide. I am actually surprised that the prosecutors did not use this scenario.. given that a month beforehand they had evidence she was talking about suicide.. these feelings do not just disappear over night!
Regardless of all these unanswered questions, I believe she is where she should be (hard to fathom she has been there since 1997!) and I myself believe in the death penalty.. I wish we had it here in Australia.
