here is where I dont get it.

why is everyone not accepting the coroners report? it wasnt murder or foul play which is what everyone was saying all along. and if this was any normal suicide people wouldnt be asking for the note and you cant get it anyway bc of the law no matter who died!

i am saying this (dont get mad at me) bc I cant see how the coroner AND the goverment AND everyone else are in on this like i have been seeing here on fr. i am not a good conspiracy person but come on if the diocese learned about all this from reporters they are not on the ball with this.

i just cant see how everyone could be in on it and that would be what would have to happen for all of kiernans and the rcf conspiracy theories to be true. kick me me from freerepublic for saying this but i think hubbard may be getting a worse rap with this one bc i cant see how everyone or why everyone would be in on it i mean coroner thomas has nothing to gain and dont say that hes being paid off by the diocese because thats just stupid and belongs in a mystery novel not the real world.

i dont know the more i hear about this the more i dont trust concerned catholics or rcf honestly. i don't know who to trust with this one because i am obviously not trusting the church.

(news news news: they have a non denominational pentecostal protestant teaching kids jewish roots of christianity in my sisters parish. i mean i don't mind the class but why is a pentecostal teaching a catholic catechism class????)

At least the pentecostal is probably Christian. Can you say the same of her Catholic CCD teachers?

"i just cant see how everyone could be in on it"

Everybody wouldn't have to be. Just two or three key people, who could intimidate three or four more.

It used to be common practice that when a clergyman committed suicide, a finding of "accidental death" was always turned in, because a suicide can't be buried in consecrated ground, and because of the scandal.

Same sort of thing. Or could be. I just don't know.

I have to say, though, the whole thing stinks.

One of those times I wish I were really filthy rich.

Release the note.

Then, we'll have enough information to figure out who's telling the truth.

why is everyone not accepting the coroners report?

Because they want Hubbard to be convicted of murder.

And, because FR is a haven for conspiracy theorists, of all stripes.

why is everyone not accepting the coroners report?

I was prepared to accept the report IF they were to play it straight, and release the cause of death.

Is this is simple case of suicide? Why did it take almost 2 months where "normal" time for a tox report is about 2 weeks?

Can you think of a good reason why the coroner chose not to release the cause of death on a straight forward suicide case? Why did he allow the cloud of suspicion to linger on?

Those who defend the coroner in this situation deserve tight scrutiny.
