Got ya'. It just seems that part of your belief that Chris is innocent is based on the fact that you believe LE is looking at another suspect. Your statement that the arrest of Chris may not change your mind makes me think that you are going to stick to your belief unless there is a CSI type Deus ex machina moment that proves beyond any possible doubt, reasonable or otherwise, that Chris is innocent. (And I know that the defense does not need to prove a defendant's innocence!).
I better understood your feelings at the beginning but now it seems that each new piece of the puzzle we get, which seems to cast heavy suspicion on Chris, you discount, completely disregarding the cumulation of these pieces. IMO, it's not logical due to the fact that you deconstruct each new piece while seemingly ignoring the aggregate.
What you are doing, with respect, seems to me to be a technique that some attorneys use of attacking each piece of evidence and treating those in a vacuum in an attempt to try to hide or distract from the bigger picture that is being painted. For example, you say that you don't think Chris is the focus of LE. That, if factual, would bolster your theory. But then you say, if he is, you still may not change your mind about his innoence. You also seem to discount rumors/reports that Chris had an affair, something that would detract from your theory. But I'm getting the feeling that if that is proven, you will try to discount it as well. I may not be explaining this very well, sorry.
Listen, I seriously respect your opinion. I'm not a group type of person and I think it's great when people think for themsleves. Independent thinking is a valuable thing. But, sometimes it seems that when people feel attacked they defensively and/or stubbornly hold on to a view point regardless of logic. I am trying to understand your logic and just don't yet.
You know, we have the luxury of examining not only evidence that a jury would, but also observations that may not have evidentiary value. What sticks out to me about all of this is Chris' actions in hiring an attorney hours after the murders. You say you may do the same thing. Really? Could you even stand up if your beloved wife and beautiful little boys were just strangled to death? Would your mind even go to that place, thinking about your own legal rights and protections? Or, would you be in that horrific place filled with a dread sense of panic, emergency, despair, rage, frantic need to have the bad guy caught and black feeling of fear that you will never see you babies or your wife again, wondering how the hell you will be able to breath without them? Remember, this was hours, not weeks after the murders. I have experienced death and I have seen many others go through it as well, from all walks of life. Never have I seen anyone who would actually think of their own legal protection in those raw, horror-filled moments after the discovery of the death of a loved one.
Please understand that I absolutely respect what you have to say and am not trying in anyway to be rude or insulting. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from and I hope you'll be patient. Thanks!
