The Innocence Project and Darlie Routier

[Springrain]

This is never going to end, because it's just a continual stall. Everything has been tested and retested over and over. I don't think the state of Texas really wants all the publicity of putting Darlie to death, so they are just going to let her supporters continue to pour money into endless testing. She's not getting out, so it doesn't really matter. But the lawyers have found a gold mine.

Honestly I agree at this point. She's clearly guilty (in my and most people's opinions). There's been a billion tests, it is what it is. It's ridiculous, but if her supporters want to waste all their time and $$$ with testing, whatever, because it's been done before and she is not getting out thankfully.

So IP was never taking her case then? I was shocked when l saw the title of this post. There’s really very little doubt that she killed her kids. There’s literally thousands of other cases IP could take on before even looking at this

 

[nannymo]

Has it been established IP is not taking her case? How does one find that information?

 

[nannymo]

Active Cases Archives - Innocence Project of Texas They only have 3 cases listed as active. Darlie is not one of them, but the following message is on their website:
"These represent a small selection of our active cases. Many of the cases we take on cannot be discussed publicly."

One would actually have to be innocent for the IP to take on a case. Clearly, Darlie is not. IIRC it wasn’t the IP who took her case. It was an attorney who was associated with the IP.

The IP is working with Darlie's appellate lawyer. They got involved in my opinion because she has been sentenced to death and they are now advocates for ending the Death Penalty because her case doesn't fit their criteria. Here is the article that states what they are doing. The DNA testing has ended, long ago. and they are now asking for fingerprints again.

Take it all with a grain of salt, most of that evidence they are talking about in this article has been DNA tested again and again as DNA improved. The bloody fingerprint blood and several other pieces of evidence have been YSTR tested for unknown male dna and none was found.

Stull waiting. There is a stats update on March 31, 2023, that's if they ever get there, there have been several continuances. Yes it's just stall tactics. Some of the test results should be available by now.

It's because there is no change the DNA belongs only.to Darlie

She's not on their list of clients.

 

[JezMyOpinion]

I’ve watched a lot of things on her and at first I believed her, but there are several things that didn’t add up imho.

Her knife used to cut screen, jewelry wasn't taken at sink where clean up occurred, she named 2 men in her jail letters & freaked out on the stand when asked about it, blood under the glass & vacuum, no cuts on her feet, wine glass was latched wouldn't have been knocked down, Domain didn't bark, motion lites not on, she called media herself to film that grave scene. Her mother had the opportunity a few years ago to go on Dr. Phil? Worldwide attn and any dna testing? She refused. Why? She knows her daughter did this. Her fans say necklace was embedded, had to be surgically removed but it simply fell off when bandage removed. Bruising on her arms prob caused by boys kicking her off. Her wounds were superficial & she didn't know what/where carotid was. She was lucky she didn't kill herself. She was such a light sleeper that she would wake up when Drake turned over in his crib yet she slept through all that? She's guilty.

Innocent IMO. The sock, the defensive wounds & the pattern of non+defensive wounds. Also, wasn’t the blood spatter expert found seriously wanting in another case?

What evidence is there of an intruder?

Have you studied the trial transcripts?

Which one of Darlie's >12 stories do you believe?

 

[anglolawyer]

I looked briefly at the transcripts but was put off by criticisms of them & the inability to look at exhibits referred to in them.

 

[MartinDupuis]

She has been in jail for the last 27 years....she's a cold blooded murderer.....there's so many informations on her case....Guilty she is definitely

I strongly suggest you familiarize yourself with the transcripts. The Justice for Devon and Damon Routier group on Facebook has many files available to read. Including photos of the boys horrific knife wounds. They are NO comparison to Darlie's "paper cuts", trust me on that.

 

[anglolawyer]

MeadowMuffin I’m not doing a deep dive into this case. I don’t have the energy for it. I’m interested in developments though.

 

[nannymo]

@anglolawyer.......you might want to find another topic in your spare time. These developments run at a snails pace! LOL! Welcome!

 

[anglolawyer]

Thank you nannymo. Yours is sound advice & I will take it. Still, it’s interesting that there seem to be some embers still glowing in this one.

The IP continues to stall Darlie's case at the state level. They have only sent the sock so far for more DNA testing.

On April 9, 2024 a Dallas judge ordered further testing of a brush and butter knife residue paid for by the IP. Straw grasping at its finest.
