I'm 100 percent with you on this, exiledred, except for exit. I have absolutely no idea if DM is an innocent dupe or if he's into this right up to the tips of his scarlet red mohawk and resent the notion that I've concluded DM is innocent. So yes, I believe I did start offering up several/many alternative theories, including this one, right from the get-go on this case. I have tried to bring impartiality to the table by examining these various other scenarios.
While it would be silly to conclude that DM is innocent at this point, I absolutely defend his right to proclaim his innocence and insist that the evidence against him is full and accurate. We, the public, are his accusers, who will be represented by the prosecution at trial. Their abiity to present irrefutable evidence on my behalf, is threshold, imo. I'll never lie down my cudgel or close down my brain on this subject. I do not choose to endorse the idea that, given we have one fellow in custody charged with the crime, we don't need to spend much time seriously tracking down anybody else because this one will do. Lets all just pile on, destroy his life and make plans for the post-guillotine part-ay.
End of rant. Actually, a frustrating and somewhat tiresomely familiar rant for myself and, I perceive, several other like minded souls who stumbled upon this website during the past week or two. :banghead:
