I say this with all sincerity and I hope it is received that way.
There seem to be a number of our fellow posters who have long maintained that RA was innocent, but after the new revelations have come to believe he is indeed the murderer. Tricia’s poll supports this and several posters have explained their change in reasoning as the newest evidence (RA’s confessions, his seeing a white van, his car being the match for the car that was at the bridge) have come to light.
None of us, I’m sure, are here because we want to be “right.”
We ALL, I believe, are here because we desperately want Abby’s and Libby’s killer to be found guilty, which would be the only speck of justice they can have anymore.
We ALL, I believe, want the German and Williams families to have whatever relief a guilty verdict will afford them.
It is a challenge when any of us are presented with facts, not rumor or innuendo, but solid evidence that forces us to change our way of thinking.
None of us know how the jury will decide on its verdict, a verdict I must accept, especially as the jurors seem to be very engaged in the process.
We will all find out together when the time comes for the jury’s finding, but I just wanted to express my admiration for the open minds that are apparent here.
I believe I long ago had an open mind, unsure about BG’s identity, until the day that RA was brought into the light.
It is the evidence that tells the true narrative and the jury’s burden to come to a unanimous verdict.
Time will tell.
JMO and appreciation for my fellow WSers.
