I agree with you. So many (including the jury) claimed Darlie Router was guilty of killing two of her children and cutting her own neck because she shot silly string on her son’s grave. If anyone found out the reason, it makes sense. It was her son’s birthday a few days after he died. She already had all the party stuff and her mother suggested they go “celebrate”. The grandmother regrets ever suggesting that because it became damning to her. That grandmother was trying to comfort her daughter as well as hold her own grief. That poor family.
thanks, I’m an aussie and not familiar with the case you mention...but I will say this...from the experience with ‘The Dingo Ate My Baby’ case, I have learned there are people who so desperately want someone to be guilty, they refuse to consider any evidence to the contrary. It’s for that reason alone, that regretfully, (because there are cases where death is clearly deserved) I am against the death penalty.
Lindy Chamberlain might have been hung. As it was, she spent four years behind bars IIRC...it ruined her life and her family. Interviewed about this case on TV yesterday, she broke down in tears and I can understand why.
