I'm not one of those people who believes that a ton of popular/mainstream cases "got the wrong guy" like in the Steven Avery and Adnan Syed case. Not saying they're guilty, but not even close to being convinced of their innocence either. However, the Darlie Routier case is one where I'm pretty convinced she is innocent, or at the very least shouldn't be behind bars based on the evidence.
I had completely forgotten about this case until the 20/20 special the other night, and it reminded me of how egregious this conviction was. Is anyone here familiar with it? If not, please watch the 2 hour 20/20 special.
The sock and fingerprint evidence to me are very telling. They found a bloody sock from the crime scene about 75 yards away from the home which had the blood of her kids on it, I think it's highly HIGHLY unlikely she's the one who put it there. Also unknown fingerprints at the crime scene which didn't match hers.
I see no motive for her to kill her kids, she has no history of mental illness. She had post-partum depression apparently, but many women do and I don't see that as a viable reason for someone to randomly snap many years after the fact.
Not to mention she almost died from her wounds. Her neck was cut, she had serious injuries. Usually if people injure themselves to make it look like they were attacked to stage a crime, they don't give themselves life threatening injuries to the neck area.
She was convicted in large part because of a video that showed her shooting silly string at a party to basically honor the memory of her dead kids and many people back then in much more strict and less understanding times thought that made her look guilty, but they were denied video of her from that very same day bawling her eyes out at the same party.
I just really don't think she committed these murders, and this was a brutal crime. If that's the case a brutal killer got away with murder.
What is your take on this case? Do you think she did it? If not, who? I don't mean specific names, but general profiles of the type of person who did it. Was it a robbery gone wrong? A child predator or psychopath?
