In my opinion, there's no way this case won't end up seeing some form of dramatization and/or documentary or both, at some point in the future.
I agree.

Many, many people do just that. I have seen lots and lots of park benches with dedication plaques. Also some garden spots, reflection pools, and things of this nature.
When a segment of my family found the remote burial site (not in a cemetery) of our great great greats in the Smokies, we put in a bench for reflection, with dedication.
This is not unusual, and it will be a lasting contribution to the community. This is not a billboard advertising a commercial commodity or service. What a lovely, thoughtful memorial.
WHY on earth would ANYone complain about it?
Quoting Anderson: "JA turned out to be right about her concern for NC, as many of us have pointed out so many times. But some people seemed to naturally gravitate to BC's position."
BC's "position". NC's "position" is: murdered, thrown out on the ground as garbage. BC's "position"...defending himSELF, not openly grieving his "beloved" wife's death, the death of his children's mother, speaking negatively of her friend whose suspicions were spot on, calling her circle of friends a "clique"? (Well, BC's lawyers did.) And why does BC feel that he needs to do this? Because he knows he is suspect. He also knows who killed his "beloved" wife. He is not out there gathering forces to find her killer. Once she was found, he became a recluse. He was not at her memorials. His children will figure it all out when the time comes.
I hope RKAB is called to be a character witness if BC ever gets to trial. (Yeah, I know, RKAB. It's not what you want, but it's what you experienced.)
Meanwhile, BC is holed up in his house all to himself with every blind closed in a dark house. Mold and mildew grow without sunlight. I see his house several times a day, so I know what I am talking about. Talk about "private person who grieves in his own private way". Grieves for what? Himself.
...My husbands Uncles didn't go to their Mother's funeral. They said they couldn't handle it. [...] My Dad died six years ago and one of my brothers is just starting to grieve. One hasn't even started yet. Everyone does grieve differently and at their own time.
Agreed. Which is why I mentioned before... if he's guilty, I don't see why he wouldn't have attended (at least some of) these things [ if nothing else for the optics ]. If he's innocent, it still would make some sense to attend of course (for the same reason innocent people go to memorials/services/funerals all the time)... but as you mention, there's perfectly valid reasons why innocent people don't attend these things all the time.
If he's guilty though, (and crafty/cunning enough to plan alibi phone-calls, and a couple of trips to HT to cover his tracks), why not attend at least some of these things?
Monday morning quarterbacks!!!!! It is very easy to say what "I" would do in any given situation, however what "I" would actually do if that situation occurred is another thing. Imagine for a moment that BC is not guilty. Imagine now for a moment that you are BC. Would you attend any public service knowing that you are entering a very hostile environment?

SleuthyGal;2741614 However said:certain[/I] cases and deal with my own discomfort, especially if it was to support a loved one, and even though it would be difficult.
Bottom line (to me) is that him attending (or not attending) any of the memorials shouldn't necessarily make one feel that he is more (or less) likely to be guilty. Anyone disagree with this? {ducks}
Seems that some maybe translate/infer that him not attending as ding on the 'hinky meter'. That shouldn't be the case. Based on what little we know about the case, it should basically be a 'no-op'. (in my opinion).
This is the sort of thing that Columbo style detectives may have responded to and then found more substantial evidence to support their case. 'Hinky' seems to be subjective, rather than rational. So, I do think that his behaviour regarding memorial events puts a ding on the hinky meter for me!
But there is no need to duck!!![]()

I am not proclaiming either guilt or innocence on behalf of BC. However I will proclaim that there are many on this list that feel they have a right to JUDGE someone else's actions.
There are those that keep asking for an arrest. Are these same people aware of double jeopardy? This case will eventually be solved but it may not be quick enough for our impatient society. The case will not be solved on WS nor in the press. Let the LE and DA handle this case as they are the professionals and they all share the same goal of catching a killer. Let's try to refrain from judging any actions till such time that our justice system has run it due course. Speculating on what "I" would do, what "I" would say or what "I" would have done is not relevant as this is simply "Monday morning quarterbacking"

PS: Hinky was a new one for me too...![]()
Alone, the fact that he did not attend memorials etc means little to me. However, when keeping that thought in mind while reading his affidavits, makes it relatively easy to ring up three or four dings on the hinky meter easily. :crazy: Bitter, self absorbed man.
Anderson and JS - everyone has a hinky meter. Some people just don't pay it no mind.
