Photos shown in court show the blood splatter on the back of the bedroom door. Who closed the door? Did TM enter and fear for Molly's life and then close the door? Why didn't he advice her to run? Why was that door closed? The defense wants us to believe it was a matter of life or death for TM and Molly. Who closed the door? Why did Molly not run? Check on Jason's children? Check on her mother? Why when TM reported on the 911 call he hit Jason, during that hit why did Molly not call 911? Why did Sharon not come upstairs? While the house appears large, it sits closely to the road. How did Sharon not hear the ambulance, fire truck and police? So many whys. But what strikes me most is in the mist of the "donney brook" why did Molly not run. That is if Molly and TM are telling the truth.
Its questions like this that the prosecutor needs to ask the jury in his closing argument. For the defense, the "devil" is in the details that just don't make sense.
For starters, we have The Curious Case of the Pristine Killers...with their victim looking like a bloody soaking mess, the room with spatters and pools of his blood everywhere, but Molly and Tom look like they could pose for the family Christmas card. (Well, except that he has no pants on.)
Then we have the "Worlds Most Distinterested Woman" in the basement. She is awakened by a scream upstairs, where her daughter and beloved step-grandchildren are sleeping. Her elderly husband goes up there, armed with a baseball bat to face...who knows what? Remember "the last thing TM expected to see" was this altercation between Jason and Molly. So SM doesn't know what he is up against. Is it a burglar? A serial killer? Does he have a gun when her husband only has a bat? Sharon doesn't know. But, she never uses any of the four cell phones in the room to call for help. I guess she just sits and waits to see how it all turns out. This takes the term "laid back" to a whole new dimension.
In time she hears sirens, ambulance arriving, commotion. But when the police come downstairs, she asks "Is everything all right?" Like a nice waitress. Is this not the strangest storyline of all? And she has never called 911. Never summoned help.
Why not summon help?
Would summoning help actually endanger ( legally) the people SHE loved?
Then there's this closed door. In the search warrant, I believe it says that Jason was attacking Molly " inside the master bedroom door." I always thought this was curious phrasing. Why not just "inside the master bedroom." Did Tom's story involve the door? Was he claiming that Jason had Molly up against that door that leads from the hall? But if a big man like Jason had his wife up against that door, Tom Martens would have had real difficulty getting in to help her.
Now we find out its Jason's blood "inside" and on the bedroom door. He was up against that door at some point. But where did this idea come from that Molly was held "inside the Master bedroom door?"
So was Tom just repeating what his daughter told him after the killing? Did she say he was choking her "inside the Master Bedroom door?" Either against the door...or if the door was open...against the wall behind the door?
Maybe TM only arrived after the killing. I'm beginning to believe more and more that actually was the case.
