So, if your wife turns up missing, and her body is found 80 miles away at the very same place you claim you were during the time she goes missing, we can just all assume you're innocent, right?
After you've checked the tides on the very day and at the very spot where YOU are and where her body shows up?
After you've made four or five anchors to use in a boat nobody else knows you have and you don't fish in -- that are missing now?
After you've told your new girl friend that your wife is dead two weeks before she goes missing?
After you've tried to sell your and your wife's home, fully furnished, before she's been missing a month?
We can just all assume it's your bad luck?
I haven't followed the case closely, and I admit that my initial reaction was that he had killed her in a fit of rage (probably following an argument, perhaps about Amber) and then worked to hide the body, develop an alibi, etc., even escape what he might have felt was an impending unjust prosecution. I can even see trying to sell the property (a stupid move, to be sure) if he desperately needed cash.
But facts like those your cited sure paint a different picture. How do you possibly lose five cement boat anchors? And exactly when did he make them? A cement boat anchor wouldn't even be ready for use for at least a few days (the cement has to set and cure). There is no way he could have made cement boat anchors on December 24th and used them that same day. And he purchased a boat without telling anyone? And the story he said to Amber? Did he think she would never put two-and-two together?
Yep, he was surely guilty. And I am somewhat reassured that even a CA jury can still come to a just decision in this day and age.
Does anyone know best case scenario what life behind bars will be like for Snot? Will he have visitors, or roommates. Will he be isolated all of the time and then given only one hour, alone outside a day? Just curious.
