Being open-minded implies common sense and making use of known facts - which many of you continue to ignore. Curiously, not a single one of the "postulated theories" that define your clique have ever provided even one single fact supporting these bogus theories. NOT ONE. That isn't being open-minded. That is being stupid.
Sherlock, Devil, sandude, and I (and a few others) are very open-minded to other possibilities, if you could provide any evidence. We would all switch sides in a New York minute if you could offer anything but speculaiton.
fact: one potential suspect dead under suspicious circumstances...
fact: father of victim had an unusual relationship with known excon and used tax-avoiding and illegal means to pay off that same excon.....
really, that is about it....the stories about the chair under the window, the cut screen, the gun, etc etc are not evidence as in evidence in a trial....we know very little and that maybe is the way it should be.....
your facts are only your little chosen facts....you ignore anything else that might be a little too messy for you to face....
so when is Ed Smart going to be charged with not paying social security taxes on behalf of his hired help?....I mean, they make people pay for babysitters and nannies....it should be the same for ED.....
