Wow. God I hope LE has some solid evidence. Just look at all of the possibilities that everyone on here has come up with! The more NP has to throw out there, the more chance of one juror having doubt.
Don't be despondent! I didn't mean to have that effect on anyone. I believe that LE has much more than shared. As Gitana, I believe, indicated, we already know about the evidence being very strong for tampering with evidence. If Fotis has to be tried for that, that alone can put him away for a good two years, which gives LE a great deal of flexibility for charging with some form(s) of murder. Fotis can push to have his trial within a year of being charged with a crime, but the charge can be made any time---there is no statute of limitations.
I for one have trouble imagining how any jury member will doubt for a second that Fotis killed Jennifer. If they doubt his doing it single-handedly, it doesn't exculpate him.
But, murderers do get off sometimes. If he is one of them, I can assure you that at the very least, the Farbers are going to pull his money from Greece into the pockets of lawyers in the US, and suck him dry of every asset he stole here.
Even more importantly, I believe in Gloria's wisdom in surrounding the children with resilience-building supports. I believe in her ability to surround them with a fantastic education and tools for putting it to use. These children, who have had a most unusual "poor little rich girl/poor little rich boy" (approximate quote of family member intended) of lives will be armed with the ability to make the world a better place. Maybe one of them will lead in DV as their MGM leads in Head Start. Maybe one of them will find a way to bring the ability to compete in sports such as skiing out of the "pay to play" world- and the child of the owner of one of the restaurants on Albany Avenue can access- and enjoy- the same coach Fotis abusively made his kids benefit from. Maybe one of them will go all in to Judaism, and create a faith-based place to heal from DV open to all. Maybe one of them will move to a resort town, and barely make enough from selling paintings and organic foods to pay the rent on the store front, but be a happy place for other poor little rich kids to build resiliency.
I do hope Fotis gets brought to justice, and there is no doubt in my mind he did it. If it is "only" civil justice, that is better than nothing. But it is even more important to me that the children he had with Jennifer have the opportunity to grow up and make the best of their nightmare --- this extraordinary version of an old misogynistic tune. If any of the Farber/Dulos children break a pattern for future generations, justice will be done.
