I just watched a 48 hours about Christopher Porco being found guilty for murdering his father. It never ceases to amaze me in the face of overwhelming evidence that someone is guilty, there are always those people that still believe the person charged is innocent and they just sound so ridiculous. ( like the defense attorneys )
Great line the prosecutor said.... It is either one of two things, he is either guilty or he is the unluckiest person in the world.
Porco was living well beyond his means, had forged his father's signature on bank loans and when the father had found out then he killed his father and failed at killing his mother with an axe, for the insurance money. The mother when asked who had done this to her on the night in question nodded yes when the detective asked her if Chris had done this to her. 3 paramedics witnessed this. One of the defense's arguments was... do you think he would be so stupid as to park his yellow jeep in the parents driveway while he killed them. A neighbour witnessed the jeep in the driveway the night of the murder and the defense tried discounting the neighbours testimony by saying it was most likely a false memory. Yeah, OK.
I think sociopaths think they are so much smarter than the rest of us and that they cannot get caught.
His brother and he were estranged. The father at one point had told the mother he thought their son may be a sociopath.
I remember someone on this site at the very beginning of the TB murder, saying follow the money. This would of course be regarding the death of WM.
With TB I think DM just thought he was so much smarter and would never be caught. He wanted that truck, period.
Just me rambling and MOO.
Have we followed the money???
I am sure I will be glued to my TV on the night they air The TB story.
BBM Yes I am in total agreement with you there Eldee. Yes they typically are socio/psychopaths and they are sloppy and believe they are intelligent, that's how they end up getting caught.
IMO there needs to be those who "go against the grain", as it helps to bring about further questions and answers to help strength the investigation and case and solidify guilt or innocence. There will always be those playing devil's advocates trying to deny the facts/evidence because they may have some personal investment to do with the accused, they believe someone should not be seen as guilty until it is proven in a court of law, or those who just like a challenge as it brings some sort of satisfaction/pleasure for them. In the case of a defense attorney...well it's their job and they hope if they raise enough doubt, they can win a case which in turn, will bring them notoriety and more business.
In this case, it's becoming more apparent, the more we sleuth and uncover information, DM is not the squeaky clean, intelligent, ambitious, guy many assume he is. Nor is he as wealthy as being assumed. There may be wealth there, but I believe it is sitting in limbo, frozen right now and was at the time of TB's murder. It had only been five months since WM death, and highly doubt DM had access to his father's complex estate. Because WM's death was ruled suicide, there was an investigation still underway as LE have stated, the case remained open and ongoing. I can see why DM wanted to throw in the towel and unload Millardair. He was looking for a quick buck. Even to sell of equipment would bring him some cash, not much but a bit of pocket change so to speak. I see the bigger picture he and MS were into stealing vehicles to make money. I believe they were inexperienced car thefts and this is what brought about the notion of what they thought would be an easy theft...test drives. No, I don't think LE rushed to judgement when they made their arrests. They have the evidence to solidify this case and it will be proven in court. ALL JMHO.
The Office of the Chief Coroner also has an ongoing investigation into the father's death.
It is not unusual however, for a coroner's investigation to take months to complete, even when no foul play is suspected, says Cheryl Mahyr, issues manager in the coroner's office.
"There's no prescribed time limit on how long it takes," she says. The length of the invest:silly:igation can depend on "the number and types of tests that are ordered."

MOO - The bolded part of DP's statement below makes me :floorlaugh::silly:
:slap:HELLOOOO DP??!!!! Are you serious?! Obviously with the murder of TB, it is totally relevant now and worthy of another look. :winner: Maybe it won't be long before DM switches lawyers. :giggle: May I suggest Dirk D. At least he has a legit, professional office over a virtual one :giggle: DP would say your line I underline in your post. "Would have bee thoroughly investigated at the time" in DP's words, BUT something may have been overlooked such as reasoning and circumstantial evidence. :moo:
Millard's lawyer, Deepak Paradkar, says the allegations are an attempt to "malign him in the court of public opinion." He says both cases would have been thoroughly investigated at the time.
In terms of his father's death, he said, "they ruled it was non criminal. And then I believe his father's body was cremated so what's new in terms of evidence just because he's accused in this (murder)? How is that relevant?" Paradkar said last night.
But Wayne Millards death, originally deemed a suicide, has now also come under renewed scrutiny from both Toronto homicide detectives and the Ontario Coroners Office. While declining to provide any details, both police and the coroner have said their investigations were ongoing despite the fact Waynes body has been cremated.

"He's a very unassuming, humble person. He's intelligent, well-educated and financially well off, so there's no motive here," Paradkar said,
:floorlaugh: No unassuming, humble, intelligent, well-educated and financially well off person has ever murdered someone. Quite the lines DP comes up with. And imagine, DP learnt all this with one or maybe two visits with DM behind bars. :whistle:
