I have read all the threads about it and I'm impressed at the amount of analytical thinking that has been put into this case by members of this board.
For the record, I think she did it. And I think Darrin had something to do with it as well, because how could he not? He claims he didn't wake up during the attacks but is the man deaf? My husband spent 20 years in the Marine Corps. He can fall asleep anywhere in any position and he sleeps like a rock, but if one of his sons coughed in the night he would wake up instantly. How do you not wake up when your kids are being murdered in your living room? I can't get past that.
I've read a lot about the case but what finally decided me was seeing Darlie interviewed on TV. My father was an actor and a radio announcer, and I was raised around performers. If you know what to look for, her performance was just glaringly obvious. The sniffles, the glancing at the camera from under her eyelashes, the carefully pained expression...it was so "Method" I can't even tell you -- my sister and I watched a show where Darlie was interviewed in jail and all the way through it we were, like, "She's lying. Watch her face! Oh my God, she's so LYING!!" (Interestingly, we had the exact same reaction to Susan Smith's media interviews before her involvement in her boys' disappearance was discovered -- my sister and I watched her together and both of us said "She did it. She's lying and she did it and those boys are dead." Unfortunately, we were right.)
Plus, watch and listen to Darlie's interviews. She gets emotional at all the wrong times, mostly when she is discussing the fact that she's in jail -- not when she's discussing the bloody butchering of her small sons. She's upset all right, but she's upset that she got caught.
Also, I have to say, I went to the Justice For Darlie website and was really, really disturbed at the crime scene photos they had posted. Not the ones of the house or of Darlie in hospital looking pathetic...but the ones of the little boys laying dead and bloody on the floor. Those were beyond appalling. I mean, I know why the pictures were taken and that they were necessary parts of the investigation but...why put those on the internet? Seriously? Especially the one where the coroner is holding up one of the boys like a piece of meat to expose his wounds to the camera. That one made me cry.
I cannot fathom that anyone in Darlie's family would want to ever even see those photos, much less put them on the internet where every weirdo in the world can look at them. You can say all you want that they put them up there to illustrate problems with the State's case but I really don't see the purpose. It's like they are pimping out these vile pictures to get people on Darlie's side.
Anyway...the preponderance of evidence, combined with the behavior of Darlie and her family in the aftermath, has long since convinced me that she killed those boys. I don't believe in the death penalty so I can't say that I hope she fries for it, but I wish she'd admit it and just suck up the punishment she deserves.
