Here we are on the 13th aniversary (June1996) of what is in reality a UNSOLVED crime, IMO one of the biggest travesties of justice, and cases of injustice I've ever come upon. Why?....
1.) Because...LE focused only on the mother within hours without any investigation or valid reason, determined to 'pin' the crime on her, arrested her in the 1st 2 weeks, had her convicted and sentenced to death within 6 months, record time for even a 'Texas railroad'.
2.) Because there was literally no proof or evidence against her at all.
3.) Because her so called trial, is the worst mockery of the court system I've ever read, as she was allowed no defense lawyers and no defense. I say 'no' defense lawyers because that's what in effect was there...none. There were warm bodies present with the 'title' of defense lawyers, but they were hired by the real suspect in the case, her estranged husband Darin, at the last minute, with no time to prepare, no knowledge of the case, for extra skimpy funds. If you really want to laugh yourself silly (or cry) read Darlie's trial, which is on line, every second of it...The writers of the comedy lawyer movie 'Cousin Vinney' couldn't do better for comedy incompetence than Darlie's real life lawyers. At least in the movie, the incompetent lawyer only gets yelled at once by the judge during his opening statement, in Darlie's real life fake trial...he got yelled at twice...and it just gets worse!
People often ask, when I stick up for Darlie (as I always must since she was illegally convicted in violation of state, and federal law, and the Constitution, since there was no proof or evidence against her and therefore nothing close to proof beyond doubt as is required), if I think, that despite there being no proof, she could've done it? My answer is...maybe as she was there, but I don't think so...because...the case is a great one for sleuths, there is a lot of real evidence and it all points to...husband Darin...a little... to strangers on or near scene at the time, and none towards her.
For those who think she can be PROVED guilty as the law requires...WHY are you against a new trial???? What are you AFRAID of, could it be the TRUTH?
