sadly, my answer is yes. i cant believe it's been 15 years. nothing new has surfaced. things have gotten quiet. darin has officially moved on. what does darlie think night after night in her cell? thoughts of what she could have done differently. does she wish she could take it all back because it was wrong or take it back because she was caught?
on one of the shows about the case it shows the juror who apologized to darlie for sentencing her. the reported sounded amazed that darlie forgave him. the feel was to be that she is a kind christian woman. i hope this doesn't offen anyone but here goes...lots of people in jail, especially on DR find God. to me, they find solace in the New Testiment because it states forgivness. i think it helps them ease their minds of their crimes. Jesus forgives them and all is well. not saying in every case. just i question darlie's faith at times. everyone says how sweet she is, how accepting and forgiving and kind. it can come off as phony. no one is that perfect. maybe it is because i believe if she truly found religion and faith i would expect she would want to unburden her soul and tell the truth and seek forgivness for her actions. like Karla Faye Tucker.
maybe im asking too much. she may be terrifed to die and cannot confess for fear she will be put to death quickly. most people dont want to die under any circumstance. i couldnt imagine the fear of dying knowing what could be waiting for me due to my actions. those were her sons. sometimes this case just hits you hard.
i consider myself very compassionate and understanding but i ponder if i can just offer it willy nilly to darlie unless she steps up and does the right thing. that makes ME feel like im a bad person. maybe that's why some people want to believe she is innocent. believing she's guilty just stirs up so many emotions. makes me ponder love, life, religion, death, sorrow and what is expected of me as a person. am i to forgive what is not mine to forgive. am i to be compassionate to someone who did not show compassion? is it a betrayal to her sons or is it the right thing to do?
was darlie a good person who just snapped from post partum and the mix of diet pills and rage and has deep internal remorse for her actions. or is she a dangerous sociopath who took revenge on her children? i wish i knew what she really felt inside. do people believe she is a continued threat to society and should be put to death for that reason or do they feel she should be put to death because she killed her sons? i struggle with the death penalty except in cases of Ted Bundy and heartless murderers who relish in others pain and am interested in others thoughts on it. if there is remorse its hard for me to want it but that is not my decision to make. i honestly dont know what emotion i will feel when she is executed but i assume it will be an overall sadness because this never should have happened. her sons should be alive. her mother shouldnt have to experience the anguish of what has happened. even though darlie kee can come off wrong she must feel genuine daily suffering. she loves her daughter and that is natural.
this is such a tragic case no matter what the circumstance.
