You think right.

Darlie had a slice to her neck, one minor stab wound to one of her forearms and one on her chest (of course avoiding the breast implants).

Until you said that, (having seen the silly string episode several times) it had never dawned on me how long it had been and how well her injuries were healing.Weekend before last, I watched a repeat of a program on the Routier murders.
Of course, they showed the Silly String tape. (Personally, I figure people grieve different ways; though tacky, the Silly String episode isn't evidence of guilt, IMHO.)
But what was striking about the video was how well Darlie's injuries had healed, less than 2 weeks after the murders.
This is my first post here. I have been following the Routier case for years.
In my opinion, what sums it up for me is the fact that the defenseless children were viciously attacked and the adult in the room had just superficial wounds. It's the same as the Diane Downs case. Why leave the adult to live and kill the children? It makes no sense.
Hey Nova!Thanks, Laura, and welcome to WS. I was about to mention MacDonald as well.
In addition to the inequality of wounds, the thing that convinced me of Darlie's guilt was reading the transcript of the trial (which was posted here at some point). The way she kept crafting her answers to fit the questions (and what she imagined the DA was thinking) was very telling.
Hey Nova!
I think Darlie's "brilliant" :doh: defense attorney coached her to do that.

Grasping for straws again, are we? When it wasn't enough to blame the police, the investigators, the prosecutor, the witnesses, the doctors, nurses, paramedics, medical examiners, the Routier's neighbors, the 911 operator, and the judge, you moved on to...Darlie's own attorney!!
This is an old and useless argument, accordn2me. You really should move on.
Darlie wasn't the type to be coached. If she was, she would have listened to Mulder when he told her not to take the stand.
Unfortunately for Darlie, she DID have brillant defense attorneys, so that avenue will be closed to her.
Do you think it is possible that her husband Darin helped her? I do.I think Darlie inflicted the knife woulds herselfs. I can't find the article, but something I read described them as "hesitation" wounds. She did it herself to look like she was attacked and as far as the bruised go, I think Darren did that when he saw what she had done.
WindChime, It reminds me of the Justin Barber case from FL. The man who killed his wife & shot himself in the shoulders & other places on his body that wouldn't kill him. The doctors treated the wounds with ointment & said they were not serious. He also did a google search on the internet about faking suicide, running to Brazil Mexico. Where to shoot yourself & not die.Jeana (DP) Jeana (DP) is offline

Yes, I've seen the photos, but they're not on the internet. Darlie had a slice to her neck, one minor stab wound to one of her forearms and one on her chest (of course avoiding the breast implants).
The boys were seriously STABBED. The wounds were deep penatrating wounds. Some of them were almost three inches deep into their chests or backs. One author wrote that they went all the way through to the carpeting, but they actually didn't make it that far - close though. __________________
