I think he wasn't charged with murder or as being an accomplice because the police didn't have any/enough evidence to make a case to stick. I think it was Darlie and her alone.
I recall something about the burglary scam too. He tried to hire someone to do it as I recall. Or he talked to someone about it. Something like that.
Thanks. I don't recall that little tidbit about the bloody palmprint. Crazy, isn't it ?I still remember early that morning, hearing about the news on the local TV news. I was in the kitchen fixing breakfast when I heard about a 911 call and kids being killed here in my little community. So when I headed out for work a short time later, I decided I'd ask around to see if it was anyone that we might know. (They didn't report the name of the household in the news report I saw). So you can imagine my shock when I found out it was someone's family that used to work at our company. At the time, I didn't suspect either one of the parents. Then later that day, I was told that Darin had left his Jaguar in our parking lot. I later found out that he had made a habit of doing that though.
Perhaps. We may never know for sure, though.
Well, the most likely of the speculation that I have seen is that the kids got in the way of her lifestyle. So now she is on Texas Death Row. How rational is that?
How anyone of u can sit here and say that the evidence is overwhelming that Darlie killed her small children is shocking to me... I have watched the documentaries, read the news stories, and theres no way I am convinced of her guilt... if shes so guilty and the evidence can prove it then whats wrong with giving her another trial... if it proved it once, don't u believe it cud do it again??? besides, there were too many mistakes made during the first trial... and the b-day party, come on people, what abt the police surveillance tape that showed 2 hours worth of a memorial service before the media showed up to capture 15 minutes of a b-day party HONORING Devon??? it wasn't even Darlie who brought the silly string, it was her sister... and what abt the rest of the family who was carrying on as if it were a party??? shudn't they be arrested and thrown in jail for suspicion of murder??? Our court system has failed here... I truly believe this... there r too many people who have sit back and decided upon the ponderance of the evidence that there is just something wrong here... wud we rather be sure that she is guilty 100% and know we r putting to death a guilty woman, or take the chance that she is innocent and put her to death anyway, just because the state of Texas can't admit that they r wrong??? look at all the evidence and then tell me that it all points to her...
The state was negligent in it's handling of the case. From the crime lab supervisor that was a severe alcoholic, to the court reporter who was so negligent producing the transcripts, that new ones had to be made from court tapes for the appeal.
I saw a documentary on either TLC, Discovery, or CourtTV sometime between August 1-10, 2001. I remember specifically that it went through the entire details of the case and also included some reconstruction scenes of what happened. Since then I have been searching for more information on this documentary. Does anybody happen to know what I am talking about or have a video copy? I am very desperate for this - my friend and I want to watch it again - this is a very intriguing case after all. If anyone has any info PLEASE email me at chad5871@yahoo.com - Thank you so much for your help!
