[John or Patsy] did render assistance to a person [John or Patsy], with intent to hinder, delay and prevent the discovery, detention, apprehension, prosecution, conviction and punishment of such person [John or Patsy] for the commission of a crime, knowing the person [John or Patsy] being assisted has committed and was suspected of the crime of murder in the first degree and child abuse resulting in death." (quoted from indictment)
The Grand Jury couldn't figure out who did what between [John or Patsy].
The DA couldn't figure out who did what between [John or Patsy].
Steve Thomsas couldn't figure out who did what between [John or Patsy].
I did: The group of individuals were split-off personas inside Patsy's mind. The intruder Smit was so adamant about was a split-off persona in Patsy's mind.
PDI; Patsy Did It
PDID; Patsy Did It Deliberately
PDID; Patsy's Dissociative Identity Disorder
IMO, of course.
Good, simple explanation of the GJs work. :clap:
The DAs Ainsworth and Demuth wanted an intruder with Smit. Their feedback was not helpful to the prosecution. Kane was a solid Arrest Ramsey kind of guy. Demuth went to work for the Ramsey attorneys after losing to Mary in the race for DA.
Steve Thomas may have been my favorite detective; however, his was never a favorite theory. There was no accident.
Steve Thomas looked Patsy straight into the eyes on Nat'l tv and told Patsy that he felt she was "good for this". Boom! There it is! I stood up and cheered! He knew she was capable of evil actions and she knew that Steve was aware of that flaw in her.
What ST also did well in his book was reveal Boulder's political shenanigans that run far and wide with deep connections. 6 Degrees of Separation
Lou Smit's last case was a huge one. He managed to snag the guy who murdered Heather Dawn Church in Colorado in 1991. The killer, after his arrest, confessed to killing over forty people. For that confession, he was sentenced to life.
The Heather Dawn Church Files may be worth a brief study. ST said Smit often spoke of the Heather Dawn Church case and how it was similar to JBs circumstances.
