Darlie's injuries

Was the wound to Darlie's chest a stab wound or was it a slice (the same as on her neck)? I think that the 2 wounds (the one on neck and chest) happened during the same cut. I think she dragged the knife from the upper right neck to the left and the knife skipped a spot on her chest and then made the cut that was on her chest?? Am I making sense because sometimes I confuse myself?? LOL

PS.. I know I am responding to an old post and I haven't made my way all the way through the posts so please forgive me if I have repeated something that's been discussed before.

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).

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.
 
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.
 
Remember Justin Barber, his wife was killed and he was shot but in non life threatening areas. Well he is in prison also.

In my opinion Darlie wounded herself in an attempt to deflect blame and "frame" the unknown shaggy stranger. But again as in Barber, look at the difference in the wounds very telling. Also as in Barber, an unknown person would want to subdue the person who would be the most trouble, like an adult women as opposed to two small children and a "man" as opposed to a slim women.

Darlie is where she belongs and I have still have seen any evidence, new old or otherwise that has changed my mind.

Also in a program, what advantage would it be to a "stranger" to clean up blood at a sink. How does that benefit the stranger to do a bit of housecleaning and cleaning up. It does not.

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.
 
It was only days afterward and she didn't look very "injured" to me. The doctors would have released her the same day, had they not been concerned about her being a "grieving" mother with dead children. Her "wounds" would not have been enough to keep her hospitalized even through that next night.
 
The type of wounds, the lack of severity and the hesitation of the wounds just about sums it up for me.

The one thing that Darlie and her camp just don't seem to realize if that "the people" who look at evidence before lies did just that and have determined that Darlie is where she belongs on earth, after that well we all know where she is going.
 
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.

Exactly! Take out the biggest threat first. That makes perfect sense even to me and I've never done anything like that before.:rolleyes: There would be absolutely NO reason whatsoever to kill two sleeping little boys and leave a yelling mother chasing them out of the house. In that area in the neighborhood, you would have to know how to get in and how to get out or you'd probably end up driving around for a while and that would get you caught if mom was still alive.
 
The children being brutally attacked and murdered is also very much like the Jeffrey Macdonald case. Why would an intruder kill the wife (who was a petite person), and two small girls, while MacDonald, the Green Beret, hardly was wounded - same thing, same reason -
 
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.

I don't think there are ANY straws these people won't grasp at. there's not many people left to blame...I'm just waiting to hear that the boys commited suicide or murder/suicide themselves.
There is SO much evidence that points to HER, and NONE that points to anyone else, imo.
 
Unfortunately for Darlie, she DID have brillant defense attorneys, so that avenue will be closed to her.

Darlie had FIVE attorneys:

Mulder
Glover
Mosty
Douglass
Hagler

and a private investigator named Harrell.

So when her supporters say, "Mulder should have done this or Mulder should have done that, or Mulder dropped the ball, or Mulder didn't have enough time to prepare and that's why Darlie was convicted", I have just one question:

Where were the other five members of the team? Playing Bingo?

Do you think it is possible that her husband Darin helped her? I do.

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. __________________

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.

It's the same thing with Darlie, the kids were murdered & she just got a couple of scratches. :rolleyes:

Drs in hospital said that the wounds that were inflicted on Darlie were serious, one came within 2mm of a caroid artery, sorry bout spelling.
