The Cuts

[beesy]

I think there may be a language problem here that is misleading you. I sense that English may not be Snooty's first language. She is probably doing the best she can to explain what she thinks as plainly as possible, so go a little easy on her. She is genuine.

Yes ma'am.
I don't think I was hard on her. Was I? I didn't mean to be, sorry.

No problem. Just cluing you in a little. I like Snooty. The first time I posted with her (at another forum) I called her Snotty. We had our little tiff and now we are buds, I think.

Because she knew darn well that Damon had left a blood trail as he crawled across the family room, and she had to explain it somehow.


This I did not know. What is his trial if I may ask?

Hi, Snooty. In his closing statement, Toby Shook said it was apparent from the DNA that Damon moved across the family room to the doorway where he eventually collapsed.

By all accounts, he fell asleep right next to Darlie, so she had to come up with an explanation of how he ended up across the room. The story about Damon walking behind her fit the bill, but it was way too late. She never mentioned a thing about it in her statement to police.

She shouldn't have remembered Damon's activities either if the memory loss was caused by the trauma of the event. She was still right in the middle of the trauma when Damon supposedly followed her across the room. This leans hard toward proofing she was lying. Yahooooooooooo! [/color][/size]

Boy, does it ever! In his closing statement, Toby Shook said several times, "She hadn't come up with the amnesia defense yet." He had her number alright

 

[Mary456]

Am I speaking in an alien language? I wasn't talking about Darlie when I mentioned most people try burn their attacker's face into their brains.

Good grief, Beesy, I was agreeing with you!

I know, I'm sorry. I forgot my secret decoder ring that night. :blowkiss:

Don't forget the bloody handprint on the carpet. I keep wondering why she put Damon in her story as having waked her up. He was obviously over at the sofa, trying to get away from her:furious: because his handprint was picked up with Luminol. Somebody wiped the actual blood away though. Was she worried all of Damon's blood hadn't been wiped off the sofa? She doesn't say anything about one of her "babies" waking her up on the 911 tape. Another afterthought. I hate to think it, but most likely Damon did say "Mommy" at some point during the attacks. In every lie, there's a shred of truth.

Goody-
I remembered a way we can call Darlie names without it being bad. There's an old saying in the South. As long as you add "bless his/her heart" on the end, the insult is made invalid, but you get your point out there. For instance: look at that trashy Darlie Routier, bless her heart"!

LOL

I'm not sure why we need to call Darlie anything. She's convicted and sentenced to die for murdering two of her children with a butcher knife while they slept. I think being called "trashy," sort of pales by comparison.

Darlie remembered that the intruder was either white/black, wore a dark t-shirt, jeans, a baseball cap with no logo on it, and longish hair. That's a pretty detailed description, considering that there were no lights on in the house & she saw the intruder walking away from her, going toward the utility room. How would she know there was no logo on the cap...in the dark????

Yeah and she used what was familiar to her--Darin, long hair in the back (mullet), 6 ft, etc. and she put the intruder in Damon's clothes, black.

Boy, does it ever! In his closing statement, Toby Shook said several times, "She hadn't come up with the amnesia defense yet." He had her number alright

I'd say, if she really did have TA, she wouldn't even have made that 911 call. she would not have been oriented as to time and place the way she was. She wouldn't have known what hit her let alone "a man came in, stabbed me, stabbed my babies"

Oh dear poor Darlie, no one would believe she slept through these attacks, silly of her to even put that out there. Even Mac tried retrograde amnesia at one point to when he was faced with having to explain evidence against him.

??? Snooty you didn't know that? Damon was stabbed in two different areas and at two different times. Some of us believe he may have been trying to get to his father but he was definitely trying to get away.

I think you could be right on the money Beese. Remember Mac and Kimmy's "daddy, daddy, daddy. He can't shake the sound of her voice. It's what made him turn around and lambast her with that club as she interrupted what he was doing--beating her mother. He made it part of his story of hearing she and her mother screaming and crying back in the bedroom, it's what "woke him up"

I suspect that Darlie could not rid herself of the sound of Damon's voice crying mummy so she used it as part of her story. She had to allege something woke her up so she could get the authorities there and the medical help she needed.

.

I think you are right, Cami. When I had my little experience with TA, everything moved in slow motion and faces seemed to be strangely out of reach and blurred. Later it was that time period that my memory lapses occurred in. However, I was hysterical immediately afterwards, but only when approached by another child. My point is that it took another traumatic event (sight of the other child) to send me into the hysteria or bring me out of the disorientation I had been in. Darlie's trauma was the murders. She should have been disoriented from the time she supposedly woke up to see the intruder exit. Could the sight of the intruder have been enough to trigger the hysteria? I don't know. I see no signs that she ever went through the disoriented stage, which should have preceeded the hysteria. And once out of the hysteria, she never went through denial or anger or guilt. How did she manage that?

 

[Goody]

Yeah and she used what was familiar to her--Darin, long hair in the back (mullet), 6 ft, etc. and she put the intruder in Damon's clothes, black.

She also described Damon's baseball cap that was laying on the utility room floor, and put it on the intruder.

aaaaahahahahahaha! You are so right. We southerners have our ways, don't we? I guess I just have enough yankee in me to call it just as I see it with no qualifiers, but I like the one you just mentioned. It is killing them softly, isn't it? Or maybe killing them with kindness?

Ok, labels then..."here comes that white trash Routier family, always screaming and hollering, bless their hearts".
"And that Darlie! That big bleached hair and those 2 inch nails and that tacky house. Well, look at the way she was raised. She doesn't know any better, bless her heart" I think it's more backhanded compliments. Please don't say you've got Yankee in you! The horror! LOL

Reminds me of the Julie Rea case. When she described the intruder to the sketch artist, it looked just like her little boy! As Beesy said, "In every lie, there's a shred of truth." Especially when you have to think up the lie really, really fast :bang:
