Regarding the sock ... it is mysterious. I think the police made a mistake by not taking the lid off the storm sewer and searching it. Just a thought, but I wonder if in their haste to stuff something in the storm sewer the sock was dropped. Here's a thought ... just a thought mind you ... the defense theory goes that there were two knives used in the attack. Okay, she attacks the children with the first knife while the sock is on her hand. Remember that her DNA was found inside the sock. She runs out the back, down the alley and discards the knife in the storm sewer. Upon returning to the crime scene, discovers that Damon is crawling toward the door trying to escape. She runs to the kitchen, grabs the big knife and returns to inflict more injuries.

I'll bet if I drove over there right now, some supporter would be checking the drain to clean out any knives Darlie may have slipped in there.
Not only that Jeana, but if they found a knife they will go into an area of Dallas and ask an "innocent person" to "hold the knife for a minute. Of course this will ensure an "intruders" fingerprints are on the knife. Then they will replace the knife in the sewer, call LE claim that they "just discovered" the knife, so LE will do a fingerprint test and then the supporters can claim they "found the intruder" and Darlie is innocent.
You see the "keystone" cops could not find evidence that the "supporters" did, therefore of course it is the fault of LE that poor little ole Darlie is in Prison.
When it is proven that this knife has nothing to do with the crime, the "intruder" did not live in the state at the time of the crime, then of course it will be: LE cover up, LE bungles knife "supporters" found, LE biased, LE will not "release an innocent women", LE set up supporters to get back at Darlie.
Then of course the next day, they will want Darlie immediately released from Prison, a ticker tape parade, a key to the city, a huge "princess" party and a cheque for 50 million dollars or so.
CyberLaw - I didn't think there really was a second knife. Did I forget something.
The funeral wasn't that long after the boys' death, so that must have been within days of the killings.If I recall correctly, which seems to be getting harder these days, an "expert" testified that the bruises were a result of "blunt force trauma".
I guess summed up like this. The evidence does not match the story. Which is often the case when people try to blame others for their crime.
I found this comment "typical" of a person who is more interest in material possession then the life of their kids. Disturbing to say the least. Evidence of a "psychological disorder", no doubt.

Darlie Routier had not yet returned to her home on Eagle Drive since that horrible morning; she, Darin and baby Drake had been staying with Mama Darlie in Plano.
Needing some articles of clothing, she telephoned her friend Mercedes Adams a few days after the funeral to ask if she would mind driving her there.
Mercedes complied, but expected Darlie to buckle under upon walking into the place that took the lives of her two sons. The girlfriend was in for an awakening.
Death lingered in the foyer, but Darlie, Mercedes noted, charged onto the scene seemingly unaware and like a bull elephant, arms akimbo, shouted, "Look at this mess! It'll cost us a fortune to fix this ****!"
"Right there where her boys were killed, and that's the first thing she said to me.
I put my hands on Darlie's shoulders and said, 'Darlie, look me in the eye and tell me you didn't kill the boys.'
She looked me in the eye and said, 'I'm gonna get new carpet, new drapes, and fix this room all up.' I couldn't believe it."
Again, I am sure all of her supporters will say something to the affect of:
Well Darlie was just trying to "live here and now". Why dwell over the fact that the boys were dead. She was just trying to ensure that they were not spending too much money, after all the intruder is to blame for the blood letting and murder of two boys.
