Laci Peterson's family stood by Scott Peterson in the beginning. Dr. Jeffery MacDonald's inlaws stood by him for a long time. Both families eventually ended up thinking their son-in-laws were guilty. Time told them they were right.
It goes both ways. I am torn over this case, and I have no idea what to think happened. But I cannot say 'oh, I have think they're innocent because *insert name* was innocent'. Likewise, I cannot say 'oh, they're guilty because *insert bad parent* was guilty'. I don't have the facts, and in most cases like these, I begin by looking at LE...and modify my perceptions once I have a better idea how competent/trustworthy LE in that particular area is.
I have heard nothing bad about LE in the Kansas City area. Still...those obviously lovingly taken photos of Lisa tear at me. I don't know what to think right now,and, honestly, if families started turning against the other, I wouldn't know what to think...could be fear turning into the wrong reaction against an innocent person, could be a genuine and right belief that something is wrong. I am just so torn. This is breaking my heart.
