Are investigators really able to gather all the evidence??? IMO, there is much more to this story that will never be revealed and since MR and TLM are both liars, IMO, it will be interesting to see what version of the events on April 8, 2009, the jury will believe. That's all. MOO
I don't think the jury will have any difficulty finding MR guilty of 1st degree murder and it will have nothing to do with whether they believe either of the suspects. They were both parties to the offence. TLM confessed and MR has been placed as being by her side from beginning to end.
