Jeeeesus Christ talk about a weird case with no evidence leading someone to death row.
That whole trial seems insane like there’s literally no evidence she did any of this shit. All they had was like some blood splatters they speculated MIGHT be caused by her raising the knife over her head to stab the kids.
Seriously what the fuck.
Edit: holy fuck have y’all read the signed affidavit from her husband explaining how he had seemingly hired someone to steal his car and rob his house for insurance claims???
After more reading it still seems like a lot of this is based on blood splatter stuff which is still super weird. It really sounds, the more I read the statement of facts, they took someone who was pretty fucked after what happened and who was already a little crazy and then cross examined the fuck out of her till she was like “I don’t remember what happened!”
Which like shit I get that way when my girlfriend questions something I said too much. I have 0 confidence in my own memory.
I mean I agree with the defense like if you’re willing to kill why not kill the husband for his life insurance why not idk rob someone. Killing your kids is such a shenanigans way to go about this if the motive is financial struggles.
The big thing that makes me question things is one of the knives in the block having fibers that are supposedly consistent with the intruder’s entry point on it. A lot of people take that as she cut it from the inside and put the knife back. I mean that sounds compelling and all but like that’s really the only thing here that feels like actually evidence that it may have been a staged crime scene.
Other than that it just seems a lot like they’re speculating on blood stain patterns, remarking on a lack of evidence that there was an intruder when a lot of the evidence they expect from an intruder aren’t the type of thing that HAS to be there, and they keep referencing these statements on the wound she had that are in my opinion really inconsistent. Like why’d they do the exploratory surgery? Idk the whole thing doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Idk I’m just really hesitant to even believe the “statement of facts” because so much of this seems like she was presumed guilty from the start. I mean go back and read the original statement of facts from any death row murder case that ended up overturned to give you a good example. Kirk bloodsworth Like those are almost always written in such a way that supports the outcome of the case in my experience.
Ralph Wright is another one that comes to mind where there’s a statement of facts out there that sounds incredibly damning but resulted in his exoneration after DNA testing.
They said her knife wounds were also superficial, yet the knife knicked her spine?
Yeah again it’s super inconsistent in how it’s described. Also given how long the slash is going from neck to chest I dunno just can’t imagine how she managed that. There’s the defensive cuts and the one near her neck just BARELY missed her carotid artery.
Also something that’s never mentioned is that her youngest child who was I believe 7 months lived and was asleep upstairs with her husband. How did he not wake up? Why would she kill her two kids and leave the other one?
I dunno I kinda wonder if it wasn’t some kind of domestic abuse situation gone particularly bad where she was coerced into going with the intruder story.
Idk I just can’t say that there’s anywhere near enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt she did it.
I guess. And I believe in law and order, except I do think there’s some cases, sometimes where it’s known even if the evidence cannot be provided. Don’t know how to describe it.
Like remember OJ? Pretty much the opposite of that.
You sure as hell can’t prove anything “within reasonable doubt”….
This. This is what it really comes down to. Idk how this resulted in her on death row it’s way too shaky imo

But he had 25 years of blood splatter analysis experience!! /s
How does one even quantify that like did you go to blood splatter university? Get your masters in blood splatterology? Sounds like someone pumping up their resume to make the prosecution’s case seem more realistic. Looking at you Tom Bevel (the supposed blood splatter expert on her case).

Her knife used to cut screen, jewelry wasn’t taken at sink where clean up occurred, she named 2 men in her jail letters & freaked out on the stand when asked about it, blood under the glass & vacuum, no cuts on her feet, wine glass was latched wouldn’t have been knocked down, Domain didn’t bark, motion lites not on, she called media herself to film that grave scene. Her mother had the opportunity a few years ago to go on Dr. Phil? Worldwide attn and any dna testing? She refused. Why? She knows her daughter did this. Her fans say necklace was embedded, had to be surgically removed but it simply fell off when bandage removed. Bruising on her arms prob caused by boys kicking her off. Her wounds were superficial & she didn’t know what/where carotid was. She was lucky she didn’t kill herself. She was such a light sleeper that she would wake up when Drake turned over in his crib yet she slept through all that? She’s guilty. http://www.darlieroutierfactandfiction.com/
Casey Anthony got away with it.
Reminds me of that one movie with Harrison Ford, “Fugitive” I think. It’s one of like 3 movies that I actually enjoyed.
This poor woman. Everything about this is horrifying.
