I don't like videos being played in court unless they are played in their entirety. The silly string video was shown in clips that put Darlie in a negative light. Had the video been shown in full, a juror or two might not have been so quick to condemn.
The sock has always bothered me. With nothing to show it had been planted LE decided almost immediately that it was, and that was the end of it. Anyone with an open mind would certainly question why a conclusion was made without adequate investigation. I abhor assumptions by LE, mainly because too many people believe every word LE says.
Darlie's wounds were not superficial and were not typical of self-inflicted wounds, imo. It has been said her wounds were more extensive than most because she intended to kill herself. And it has been said that she wounded herself to back up her story of an intruder so she could collect insurance payouts.
So which is it? When asked about motive LE gave conflicting stories. LE would respond in ways that strengthened their staged scene scenario and no one seemed interested in pressing LE to state what they based their conclusions on. Or, they would claim she was trying to kill herself but failed. It varied with who was asking, and it seems the news media just accepted LE's word without question.
I am not sure what happened in that home that horrific evening. I wasn't there. But for me to gain some insight into what went on, I need questions answered. If new eyes can look at all the evidence (or lack of, as the case me be) maybe some glaring loose ends can be tied up and the truth can finally be known.
Not liking the way a person acts is no reason to convict them of a crime. So what if she had breast implants, didn't attend church regularly, and would go out and party with friends! None of that means she is a killer or that she cannot be the victim of an intruder.
I'm the last person who would ever defend a child abuser, let alone child killer. But I will defend to the end a person's right to a proper investigation and a fair trial with an impartial judge and jury. I don't think Darlie had that.
MOO
