Dr. Bernhard believed Burke had either experienced or had been himself, exposed to abuse. She didn't believe Burke committed the homicide. As for the second interview, Steve Thomas watched it from behind two-way glass and didn't think Burke even knew anything.

We don't know who set the pineapple out or who other than JBR had been eating or had wanted to eat it. It could've been Patsy, who's prints are also on the dish. JBR sustained an 8.5 inch skull fracture. The crack started at the base of her skull and extended to almost the bridge of her nose...

O.k., I'll bite, what do you think "the truth" is?

On her deathbed, Patsy would've been on enough drugs to kill a horse.

That the autopsy results weren't made public doesn't mean the R's didn't have access to them. Here's what has been made public about the ligature fibers in relation to Patsy: From Kolar's book: Lab technicians had identified eight different types of fibers on the sticky side of the duct tape...

The autopsy was completed on Dec. 27. The conversation between Doug and Burke was reported to have been overheard by Doug's mother, Susan, on Dec. 28, the next day. In a non-BDI scenario involving fatal abuse by a parent, BR would stay in his room and pretend to be asleep because he has either...

I watched the trial in it's entirety and agreed with the verdict. Both Cathy Griffith's children had been removed from her care repeatedly by Florida's DCF. Cathy had a very well documented history of violent and erratic behaviors. Collin begged repeatedly to be placed in foster care but was...
