I still think Dale could be innocent just as much as he could be guilty. I know le could have more that's not released to the public, but the guy does have his children & lives out of state just like Michelle's previous ex lives out of state with her other child, & as far as I know social services haven't taken any of those kids away yet - so maybe they're loved happy & healthy right where they are.
As far as how the "twinners" would feel if their dad did kill their mom, its equally disheartening to think about how they'd feel if their dad didnt kill their mom & someone else was proven to have done so. If Dale is innocent in all of this, I'll bet the "twinners" will absolutely HATE the person or people that bully their father on a daily basis by calling him gay or *advertiser censored* (among ither names) & murderer without proof & I'd even wager that they'd bring a lawsuit against each & every person that ran their dad over. God help them if they find out they're related as I'd suspect they'd cut them off completely. Florida Sunshine Laws would guide those children into obtaining identities of people that called their father all kinds of derogatory names that have been ruled against by Anti Bullying Laws & fought for justice by the ACLU.

I couldn't agree with you more with just about everything you said, but by the time the twins are old enough to pursue a legal action the statue of limitation here would have probably long ran out, also Dale Smith is what you call a "public figure" and as such defamation laws are extremely relaxed under the
freedom of speech guaranteed by the first amendment of the US Constitution. That is not to say that having the right to do something means you should do it, like my cousin singing at a Karaoke event
but one can't simply legislate good manners and such nor should one, the reason for which I need not explain to you surely other then to say summarily that it's never the brightest of idea to suppress speech, even the most hateful ones.
Having said that, I think what you have here is the classic "throwing everything but the kitchen sink" thingy, although in this case I think the kitchen sink is also included
, add to it the obligatory repetitions, and voila' ...
to go a bit further ... of course those children need to be kept out of this entire discussion.
Of course there is nothing substantiated in the public record that indicates that Dale is abusing his children in his custody or that the children are unhappy.
Of course there is nothing on the public record that indicate Dale is Gay, nor that there are any facts supporting that his sexual preference, whatever it is, had any relationship to Michelle above that which is obvious by the existence of those two beautiful children.
Of course there is nothing substantiated in the public record that indicates that Dale's hobby of the Star Wars thingy had any relationship to Michelle above the fact that both seem to enjoy it and participate in it at some point.
And one could go on ... but the real point here is in the form of a question ... outside of the fact that everyone is entitled to an opinion and that it would be a very dull world if everyone would hold the same one, outside of the fact that theoretically speaking just about anything is possible, how can you nevertheless have a meaningful discussion on the merits of anything when people don't agree on the
facts? More and more we get divided by, class, money, state, country, blue, red and so on and we are told that it's legitimate or even expected to hold opinions on anything under the sun, that one must take a side, one must choose, so we decide that there is or there's not "climate change" even though most of us haven't spent on single minute researching and understanding climate science, or in this case that Dale is guilty or innocent even though there's simply nothing conclusive in terms of evidence, and we forget that to believe and to conclude is also to demonstrate and to prove with facts not just with words, with evidence and not just opinions, with conviction and not just rhetoric, with analytical thinking not just guessing,
with doubts not just certainties, and any process, mental or otherwise, that shortchanges any or all of it, will most likely be nothing but smoke blowing in the wind.
