Ok, so after re-familiarizing myself with the details of this case I believe that there are enough questions to at least give the man another trial. Why is it possible to believe that Charles Manson could get people to commit murder for him and in such a horrible way but unbelievable that there may be another group of "crazies" that would do something similar? There are copy cat killers all the time. The crime scene was completely contaminated, witnesses were not listened to, evidence "disappeared", and the man has consistently maintained his innocence for 40 years. I always have questions when important evidence is conveniently gone. It is easier for us to believe that a previously high functioning member of society would suddenly "freak out" and kill his own family than to believe that a group of people using drugs known to cause violence would break in and do something so heinous. It helps us sleep at night. As for the "lie" about which child wet the bed, who knows what kind of chaos would be in your mind after such an event. Do we really expect that anyone is humanly capable of remembering an event such as this in complete detail? IF he had been caught molesting his daughter, that may explain the reason for killing his family, however, why would he molest her in the same bed that his wife were sleeping in? I have been a victim of this myself and believe that it would have been done in the child's room where no one else would be but the two of them. I have heard that his reaction to this accusation was noticeable. There have been way too many innocent people convicted simply because the first responders assumed it was them and chose to ignore evidence to the contrary. All the evidence that points away from them somehow disappears. We have a problem in this country and IMO it's time to face it instead of continuing to believe that people simply "snap" and kill their own families. Not that they don't but again, I feel that we are quicker to believe this because we don't want to think that some stranger could enter our homes and do the same. How many parents have to lose their children and then go through the horror of being falsely blamed and imprisoned for it before we accept that the alternative often happens?
