Yep. I want someone to tell me how this new evidence explains away the blood on her shirt, the bloody knife imprint, the blood at the kitchen sink, and the screen fiber. When they can dispute that with some credibilty, they will definitely have my attention!Jeana (DP) said:Here's what the website said:

On June 5, 1996, Darlie Routier's sons, Devin and Damon, were stabbed to death in their home. Darlie was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death in Texas. Now, with new evidence, Darlie's attorneys have taken the case to the Texas Court of Appeals.
Sounds like they're trying to sell the same old crap to a new audience. :loser:
It wasn't that slanted. Sounds like they were playing that angle up in the description to draw viewers. They first told the basic story, then presented the state's evidence, in other words, the true story. They interviewed Cron and is it Land(?) and the prosecution team. Much of the blood evidence was actually discussed, as was the screen fiber on the bread knife, the odd T-shaped cut on the screen, the gate which was closed, the lack of blood in the garage and the lack of blood on the sofa where Darlie said she was laying. Also, the fact that she didn't help Damon when instructed to, that she stayed on the phone forever and that she was overly-concerned about the loss of fingerprints on the knife. Land(?) stated that many killers will, without being asked, try to explain lack of evidence because they already know there isn't any. The Silly String tape was of course shown. The reporter said that "in the court of public opinion, she was guilty". I like the way that was said because it let the viewers know that the jury did not convict her on just that alone.Jeana (DP) said:Here's what the website said:

LE discussed the blood in and around the sink. They said, as we already know, that it showed up with Luminol so was evidence of a clean-up. What a polite intruder..Goody said:Yep.

It sounds like Medical Detective, or a re-edit of it. If so, that was a pretty good show. I will watch for a rerun of it. As for Babs...don't get me started. LOL!beesy said:LE discussed the blood in and around the sink. They said, as we already know, that it showed up with Luminol so was evidence of a clean-up. What a polite intruder..
Her camp said nothing about it at all. Basically the Darlies simply harped on the old evidence, but presented it as new. It was a good program though. Much of the state's case was discussed. Often these programs mention the case against her rather briefly and then focus on her side of it. I liked that they interviewed many of the key LE players. That's not often done either. Wonder what happened to Crazy Chris? He was called Babs' source, nothing more. Babs said she changed her mind within 15mins. of talking to "her source".

You mean the one drop of blood on the sofa? And the transfer smudge on the garage floor right outside the utility room door, that was thought to have been transferred by police? Come on, Snooty, there was blood all over the utility room and streaming down the door but nothing but one little tiny transfer on the garage floor. Where did the rest of it go? Evaporate?SnootyVixen said:There was the blood in the garage and there was the blood on the sofa. I did not read the rest because of this so why bother myself and tire out my poor eyes ?
Everything has mistakes in it. I don't think you can get the facts in any case 100% correct every time they are presented or written down. It is the nature of the beast. You have to decide if the mistakes are major or insignificant, if their presence alters your opinion on guilt/innocence.SnootyVixen said:The facts here are untrue and make for a bad television program.

cami said:Darn I doubt we got it. Our discovery channel is different but I am going to check. Someone should be taping these for us, LOL. I do for my MacDonald group.
You're wrong Snooty. This show is not the only place which says there was no blood in the garage or on the sofa, key here, WHERE DARLIE WAS LAYING! If you had finished my post, you would have seen that the show presented Darlie's side and in fact spent more time on that then on the state's case.SnootyVixen said:The facts here are untrue and make for a bad television program.

Hey no fair! I gave cami a copy of MTJD, notice I said gave. Now I've got to watch the TV Guide so that I can tape things as well. SheeseGoody said::laugh: You devil you! hahahah. If I catch it, I will try, but Beesy might be a better risk these days. I can't seem to get anything done on time.
Thank you Heart. Apparently I'm being recruited to tape all Darlie programs...lolHeartofTexas said:Beesy, thanks for a great synopsis of the show. Wish I had cable and could see it! Sounds like one of the better shows done on her.
